The podcasts will be available on iTunes, and can also be subscribed to on chanel.com. If the inspirations don't satisfy, the show itself will be available on Chanel's site on May 19.
SIENNA IN STORE: It looks like Sienna and Savannah Miller are getting a brand new store in which to launch their clothing line, Twenty8Twelve by s.miller.

The line, which Savannah has said draws its inspiration from Dickensian London by way of Patti Smith, includes pieces such as sharply tailored wool jackets and trousers, Empire line silk smock dresses, skinny jeans and silk and jersey tops. It will retail from about $75 for a silk jersey tank to $650 for a leather jacket. Shoes by the designer Jenne O are also set to be sold at the new store.
Aside from their own retail venture, the Millers' line will be sold at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman in the U.S., Holt Renfrew in Canada and Harvey Nichols and Matches in the U.K.
