Magazine Madness: Sienna Miller: From Factory Girl to American Woman

ELLE UK November 2019 

The reason that I fall in love with fashion magazine, is not only due to it ‘documenting both the culture we live through’, (Storr, 45), but it a combination of piece of art: from the idea of inspiration, the choice of theme, the writings of words, the selection of garment and accessories, the realization of photography, the editing of every page turn and the cover of the girl, even the smell of the paper…. monthly while it released on the shelves, that I know I am the most happiest reader ever be. 

 

Next to Kate Moss, British designer/actress Sienna Miller is yet another cover girl I thrive to add to my magazine collection. She may, perhaps, be always seen as someone’s girlfriend, then someone fashionable, but while she performed in 2006’s Factory Girl as Edie Sedgwick, her several seconds of frowning concentration or the rather hoarse voices, I sense that she has the real deal. In 2012 Sienna Miller and her sister Savannah co-founded eponymous fashion line Twenty8Twelve, which I owned 2 or 3 pieces, I adore how sophisticate the materials and cutline they design, and their individual way to support British independent artists (by inserting the drawing in each clothing label envelope).


Her choppy ride into tabloid reveals that at private, Sienna Miller genuinely possesses both of her rock ‘n’ roll mixing with Bohemian trendy street styles. In ELLE UK November 2019 issue, under the lens of Cass Bird, Sienna is wearing ChloĆ© jumper and skirt with Alexander McQueen military boots, walking boyish on the wooden boardwalk still she looks attractive and elegant on wearing transparent logo bodysuit by Fendi, hiding herself in a tremendous Gucci shopping tote ; those who truly understand their own bodies and develop the very honest fashion philosophy, without the mere sponsorship by stylists or commercial collaboration, definitely own certain level of rare talents, since a lot of homo sapien struggle onto it most of the lives. 

 

Surviving through the mercilessly media hound, it is always Sienna Miller’s goal is to continuously find rich characters with strong arcs, to become a serious actress. If Miller continues to score the role like American Woman, no longer she will be BAFTA or Academy conversations (though I also like her tough heroine image at G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, 2009) The relief part is there is a rich tradition of women actors from the UK getting higher at career as they age, many securing their widest acclaim in their seventies: Judi Dench, Helen Mirren or Maggie Smith. The flip side of fame acts like double-blade, to reach the balance between the enriched celebrity life and sanity mother is what Miller is long-term game. For who we yearn her smiles and styles, we are pleased to see Miller glowing effortlessly, aging gracefully, shining constantly on the cover of fashion magazine.
