Tested - The SisiMizi Pants
9. October 2008 Designers & Labels

I have to admit – When I heard from Hamburg´s new trousers label SisiMizi for the first time, I immediately thought of Miss Sixty. And when I think of Miss Sixty, the cheap chic freshwater style comes into my mind. But before it gets ugly, I stop and wit, SisiMizi has nothing in common with that.
SisiMizi is a Hamburg-based trousers label for women, runned by a woman.
Vanessa Henning is the head behind the pants and was tired of the tweaking and pinning, the belly sucking and botty-fitting issues she had while buying pants. Her challenge: to develop a trouser form that is both elegant and sportive, that gently flatters around a Small Size as well as around a female Large body. A trouser-form that suits, that fits, that is wearable on many occasions and multi-flexible combinable.


One designer – one supreme discipline. Vannessa Henning took a lot up.
It´s nice to see that her idea was bearing fruits. Half a year ago, I didn´t know anything about SisiMizi – today, even the not so observant watcher will remark the presence of the pants on Hamburg´s streets. Worn by young woman, elder woman, business women, artist women, party women, thinker women, the tall, the small, the skinny, the bigger – SisiMizi is very present here and it was high time to make a visit and a wearability test.


Although I totally go for the harem and jodhpur pants, the skinny jeans is my standard choice. I am not tall, rather boyish than super female and the mega wide cuts and deep crotches let me even look smaller. And to be honest – who want to look like a midget with a balloon on the bottom? You can imagine my skepticism towards SisiMizi.
Afterwards, I have to call myself fool for needing so much time to discover SisiMizi for me.
After making a mess in the store and wondering how Vanessa and her staff managed to answer my million questions so friendly and patient I felt …happy.
To make a new finding is great. To make a new finding that excites you means even more luck.

The SisiMizi trousers keep the promise. High-quality manufacturing and precious materials are not the only reason to go for and with the pants – the cut makes them really flowing around the legs and gives an ultimate feeling of security. And like you easily will perceive while watching the photos – the trousers also invite to move:-)

Personally, I also like the terms of production – sewing manufacturers in Hamburg, Germany, produce the collections and the changing is done in the sewing atelier that belongs to the store.
In the top-sellers – the pants with wide leg – I felt a little bit lost, but the cuffed ones made me surprisingly feel very comfortable.
More models on real models can be seen here – for Non-Hamburg citizens that are interested in SisiMizi I recommend the fantastic virtual way of emailing












When Coco Chanel opened her first shop in 1913 in Paris, no one would have been thought that this woman would become one of the most influential designers of the 20th century, a role model for the industrially expanding world and a precursor for female independence....
Don´t worry, What´s Wrong With The Zoo isn´t going porn - instead, I have a look towards south. To Munich, Germany. In the midst of the Glockenbachviertel, the AMEN Store doesn´t only hawk unique mirroring but also cares about the good style. (read on)
