Press Release

For the 2006-2007 fashion year, SIIM introduces a new highlight - the thirteen month fashion calendar.

The concept is a full-colour 13 month desktop calendar running from November 2006 to November 2007 featuring 13 must-have styles (dresses, pants, blouses, skirts, bathing suits, handbags and t-shirts)  -  a different style for each month.

The calendar itself is for distribution, free with purchase of Siim products and it will function in tandem with the website: While purchasers of Siim calendar pieces will have the full 13 months of the calendar, interested persons can download the calendar in three month blocks as desktop wallpaper from the website. As an added layer, the select stores which will be carrying these items will be featured on the site.

The key to this line of products is that these are all one-of-a-kind items. That is, the cut is consistent for each month but every single item is actually different (different colour, trim, etc.) and hand finished. Each month there will be only 30 of each style and the style groupings are being positioned to be stocked quarterly in mutually complimentary three-style packages.

As an added exclusive feature SIIM will be working along with Garth Sanguinetti – one of Jamaica ’s most renowned jewelers – to create custom embellishments for several of these pieces.

In keeping with SIIM's philosophy of designing for the fluid lifestyle of today’s woman who requires versatile fashion which can easily transition from day to evening, these styles have been created as separates to expand any wardrobe. Women who are looking for comfort, style and quality count on SIIM’s lifestyle brand of fashion for a one of a kind look sure to turn heads when they enter the room. SIIM's designs continue to live up to the timeless elegance which has become a trademark of the label since her critically acclaimed debut at Caribbean Fashion Week in 2001.

SIIM Clothing is currently available in Kingston at Kerry, manwomanhome ( 18 South Ave. ), through the website at www.houseofsiim.com or from her studio by appointment at 16 Old Church Road (tel. 876.969.6551).
