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?
