Sienna Miller may seem the quintessential young British actress with proper English diction, a London home and a BAFTA nomination. But she has a dark secret: She’s really a New Yorker. The actress was born in the Big Apple and lived here for a year before moving to the UK. She even has an American passport. “I think you always have an affinity with the place where you were born,” she says. However, there is a downside. “When people find out I was born in New York they think I’m faking my British accent.”

This month the 28-year-old star returns home to make her Broadway debut in the lead role of the Roundabout Theatre Company’s production of After Miss Julie. (Previews start on September 18 and the play will run through December 6.) The fast-paced, three-person drama is set in the kitchen of a posh British country manor on the eve of the Labour Party’s surprise election win in 1945, which swept Winston Churchill out of office. “It was a time when everybody felt that the world was changing,” says the play’s director, Mark Brokaw. “When the class system seemed to be dissolving and when all seemed possible.” It’s an adaptation of August Strindberg’s late-19th-century play Miss Julie by playwright Patrick Marber, who is well-known for penning the smash hit Closer.

Even though the play takes place more than 60 years ago, “It feels much more current to us,” says Brokaw. “I thought so much about it during this last election when people were in the streets celebrating Obama’s victory.”

As Miss Julie, the dangerously flirtatious and irreverent daughter of the manor’s owner, Miller spends most of the play’s 70 minutes scandalously wooing and sparring with her father’s chauffeur. Her foil is played by fellow Brit Jonny Lee Miller (no relation), most recently seen in the ABC TV series Eli Stone. “It’s a pretty full-on play. It’s going to war every night with Jonny,” Miller says. “Patrick Marber’s dialogue is so amazingly written. I wish I could be that clever in a fight.”

LIKE a now famous September Issue from across the pond, Sienna Miller beams from the cover of the October issue of Vogue; hair, skin, sequins and studs all golden.

On the very day we at Vogue gear up to celebrate the world’s biggest ever fashion party (read all about Fashion’s Night Out here), the magazine looks towards London Fashion Week, taking place next week. The history of London Fashion Week, written by those who were there, comes to vivid life – whilst the future of the event, including high profile returns by labels and designers like Burberry, Jonathan Saunders and Matthew Williamson, is contemplated in conversations with the designers.

Music – and its relationship with fashion in the past, present and future – is explored in a whimsical shoot with new pop princess Lady Gaga and a revealing interview with long-reigning king of the British live music scene, Mick Jagger.

British fashion, predictably, still takes centre stage as Mario Testino photographs the best of British; including Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Lily Donaldson in Westwood, Giles and McQueen. Meanwhile, Tim Walker captures the cream of British design talent as you don’t normally see them – and we see Sienna’s love affair with British fashion in pictures.

THE OCTOBER ISSUE OF VOGUE IS ON SALE NOW – I shall add the scans to the gallery soon.
