"SILVIA HILLMANN AND KATRIN WIENS MAY BOTH HAIL 
FROM GERMANY BUT THE SIMILARITIES STOP THERE.SILVIA HAS SPENT YEARS IN THE FASHION WORLD WORKING WITH BOUDICCA IN LONDON, AND SEVERAL UP AND COMING BRANDS IN NEW YORK.
KATRIN ON THE OTHER HAND HAS A LENGTHY BACKGROUND IN THE GRAPHIC DESIGN WORLD CREATING TEXTILES FOR THE LIKE OF JUST CAVALLI, HEATHERETTE AND CALVIN KLEIN.
TOGETHER THEY HAVE FORMED 'PEPPER AND PISTOL', A WOMEN'S WEAR LINE FOCUSING ON CUSTOM PRINTS AND FEMININE CUTS CREATED WITH SHINY SOFT SILKS, AIRY VOILES AND JERSEYS - ALL WITH A DEFINITE LOVE FOR DETAIL AND FINISH.
THE NAME PEPPER AND PISTOL DERIVES FROM A GERMAN TALE THAT IS BOTH SCARY AND AMUSING AND REFLECTS THE FACT OF COMBINING TWO DIFFERENT ELEMENTS:
FASHION + GRAPHIC TO TRIGGER SOMETHING NEW AND WICKEDLY WONDERFUL."
