Magazine Madness: Porter Summer Escape: Sun, Sand & Sienna

Summer Escape 2016 Issue 15

Registered in England and Wales, since June 2000, Net-a-porter has established itself as the world’s premier luxury fashion shopping destination. Imaging an on-line shopping provider delivering and communicating with customers more than 170 countries, has editing team and publishing group, contributing bi-monthly a issue, with high editorial works and in-depth stories, the carefully chosen advertisement echoes the style of the luxury touch, moreover, the readers can shop everything they see on the pages of Porter magazine with the smartphones. I purchase the magazine by often judging the cover girl of the current issue, and am attracted to the it-girl icon Sienna Miller with Cass Bird’s photography of high summer blue.

From page 91-112, Sienna Miller wears Dolce & Gabbana ivory-white suit, Chanel pumps, Tom Ford velvet little dress, Versace silk-chiffon shirt, Ralph Lauren collection and Saint Laurent silver evening gown, she transforms each designers’ spotlights onto her very own styles. This is the reason that Sienna always can allure my purchase of the publication, since her body gestures and lovely smiles glam the every page turn. The whole photography tour is following the sun, the sand until the moonlight, recording the ‘it-girl’s relaxation getaway, with two discreet silhouette of Miller’s mother and daughter, Cass Bird takes the readers together at the holiday escape with Sienna.

What’s the first impression that comes to mind when you hear the name Sienna Miller? Blond actress, great styles, Jude Law, paparazzi? All correct. While interviewer Vassi Chamberlain records what Sienna’s order at table, how she smiles to the waiter, in what way she deals with the scandals and affairs, the repetitive mistakes strike again during the Q&A sessions—the ignorance of Sienna’s value of her relationship between her family, especially her sister, Savannah, once the co-creative director of the sister fashion line Twenty8Twelve. While Social media praise with a great affection toward Sienna’s looks, they should go much deeper on the discovery of the story of this family-own brand, of the inspiration, of the business mindset, of the work delegate, of the use of materials, and even the sponsorship of artist new-comers. If publishers would like to distinct Porter magazine from the general garbage, or if the interviewer would express to readers how Sienna Miller wise and intelligent can be, then the specific thematic topics shall introduce during the conversation, not only recall and jot down on the pages that how Sienna’s father, Edwin Miller, once a banker, laughing around with Robert Pattison and Bradley Cooper at the Vanity Fair party in 2015.


About the social media, Sienna eschews herself from it and criticizes “Twitter just breeds narcissism, it infantilizes adults, social media in general is hugely addictive” (100). While Chamberlain asks a challenging question about how Sienna deals with the press intrusion after moving to New York, particularly she doesn’t have any sort of privacy injunction, Sienna suddenly comments about recent presidential candidate of the U.S., and no further discussion in between (204). At the end of the interview, Chamberlain seems disappointed, and I, the reader too, also am wondering what’s the point of spilling ‘Fucking’ during the whole interview while not even expressing your strategy at the high possibilities of ‘media mania’ of your meant-to-be New York life, Sienna?
