Marie Claire, September 2011: Keira Knightley

In the September issue of Australian marie claire, the magazine features an exclusive with Keira Knightley, styled by editor/publisher Jackie Frank.

The actress gives writer Carole Radziwill her take on love, life, and lust, as well as her latest project with director Joe Wright - the Tolstoy classic, Anna Karenina.

Natalie Imbruglia also features in the issue; these days, she calls the City of Angels home, and she gives an insider’s guide on Los Angeles’s must-see spots.

And my fave story of all, marie claire pairs the designers behind some of Australia’s best brands with St Vincent de Paul Society op shops. Using everything from wetsuits to curtains, the designers (who include Camilla & Marc, Romance was Born and Sass & Bide) make six gorgeous, one-off creations - which are being auctioned by marie claire to raise money for the Australian charity. Love that.

The September 2011 issue of marie claire is on sale now.
