With the imminent release of her new movie adaptation of Tolstoy’s classic Anna Karenina, we took the chance to have a cup of coffee with it’s stunning star, British Actress Keira Knightly. However this being SmoothSlicknShiny it was not her stellar movie success which intrigued us most, but her blossoming modelling career as the face of legendary perfume house Chanel’s Mademoiselle and of cause those photos featuring the first glimpses of a very different Keira Knightley from the English rose we all grew up with.
SmoothSlicknShiny: How did this epic leap from English rose to fetish queen come about?
Keira Knighley: Fetish Queen! Oh f**k no. no I have a long way to go before I can claim that crown.
S.S.S: So this is an on going thing?
K.K : Now don’t start.
S.S.S: Just testing, please do go on.
K.K : Well when Chanel asked me to do the third series of commercials for Mademoiselle I was delighted. The first two had been such fun to do, they are very creative team and so I said yes almost there and then.
S.S.S: Was the theme clear from the outset?
K.K: The first meeting in terms of theme made it clear to me this was not going to be like the others in tone and they explained the title of the campaign was to be “Unexpected”. Which when you know the perfume, as I do, you understand. Mademoiselle is not what you expect, it is unlike the other classic Chanel perfumes, so it was this they wanted to bring over. To take the brand into a new area. I thought fine, that’s great, no problem. Then they mentioned the idea of fetish and I thought, “OK, well why not”, after all people have a fetish for many thing, shoes, underwear, anything really so why not perfumes.The word Latex though did come as a bit of a surprise and I admit I had an “Oh F**k?” moment.
S.S.S: Bit of a shock then.
K.K: Well it was not a shock as such, I mean Latex is not a underground as it once was, it’s just we have never crossed paths before and latex and rubber clothing was very much alien to me. I had worn leather before and I have a PVC Mac in the closet, but Latex? “F**K.” and for a few days I did think about backing out. However I realised I was in very safe hands, with a team I knew and trusted and after a while and a few more meetings and seeing the designs they had in mind, I felt a lot more confident and then realised there was a character there I had never worked with before. That’s what I do, as an actress. It is fun to find the character and i thought this would be a challenge. So that was it.
S.S.S: How did you prepare, did you do homework as you might for a film role?
K.K:. Yes very much so. As I said I had no experience of Latex before as an actress or model and so I
made a secret visit to one of the designers I would be wearing in the shoot in London. I say secret because I did not really want photos of me going to a fetish designer suddenly appearing in the press. Not that I would have been ashamed, but you know. I can imagine the phone calls from the family now. Anyway I had seen House of Harlots work modelled by British model Kelly Brook a few months earlier and thought there would be a good place to start and after two or three hours of talc and wriggling in and out of some very beautiful dresses and outfits i came to two conclusions. Firstly unlike me, Kelly has they perfect figure for latex and secondly and more importantly I quite liked it.
S.S.S: The words all fetish fans have been longing to hear.
K.K: Well maybe not liked, sorry folks, more, well, the feeling of Latex was not what I had imagined. I thought F**k this will be sticky and itchy and hot and well not much fun. So I was wrong there and that is why we do our homework. Yes it was tightly constrictive, yet I was surprised it allowed total freedom of movement, even in such things a good knee length skirt, yes you can feel the material fighting you, but it never impeded your movements. The other thing I never imagined and I do admit found rather sexy was the sound, that popping, rustle, like nothing else.
S.S.S: It speaks to you.
K.K: Yes that’s right and nothing else is quite like it I that respect.
S.S.S: So a far more pleasurable experience than you had expected.
K.K.K: PAUSE…..Yes, I would say it was, but what was more important and delightful was somewhere in all that heat and talc I found the character, fully formed. Elegant, cool, strong and dark, an independent minded woman who was happy to go her own way and show it And what did my friends at Chanel say?….. “You have described the perfect Chanel Mademoiselle ”. So F**k it, I was in.
S.S.S: How was the shoot?
K.K: In a word hot, In two words F**king hot. The trial run with House of Harlot was nothing to
S.S.S: It is the way of it, any unpolished Latex would almost be a sin.
K.K: I get that and don’t get me wrong the effect was amazing, but f**k me do we have to polish every Millimetre. I mean my T*TS are small so do we really need to take so long.
S.S.S: Not fun then
K.K: Oh don’t get me wrong I had no problem with it from the hands on element. I have worked with Carla before so there was no problem with her getting up close, but f**K me I was just getting hotter and hotter. “How’s it going Keira?” “Oh no worries Adam, Just having my A**s polished….again”.
S.S.S: Now I think for our readers I should say you are saying this with a very wide smile.
K.K: Oh yes, don’t get me wrong the shoot was a total laugh, especially when the room is still, you are ready to go, game face on and then with the faintest of movements your dress “Farts”. No it was a very nice experience.
S.S.S: You shot one image on the streets of London. Do tell us how that worked.
K.K: Oh that was in the House of Harlot business suit. We could have done it in the studio and matted the image over the background but Adam wanted it “live”. So it was a few weeks after the Paris shoot
we met back at HARLOT, but the problem is, Adam wanted a distinct London look, everyday, normal London, rain, bus, all that. So we got the rain no problem, a basic London street no problem, a London Bus…..Oh F**k. The bus route did not run past the shop so we could not just nip out into the street and shoot and nip back in. We had to go to the end of the road. So we got the bus timetable, right one very 5 minutes no worries. Got everything ready, which means me and when we got a call from Louise on the corner we would rush out to the end of the road, “snap snap” back in. Call comes “Go Go”, we all come out of the shop, me freshly polished, with a Mac covering the dress and run to the end of the road, just as a bus passes. S**T!. Do we go back?, do we stay?. You can’t trust the London timetable so we just waited……and waited….and waited. Then when one finally came we slipped the Mac off here we go…… and the Bus stops just short of us.
S.S.S: So there is Oscar nominated actress Keira Knightley standing on a damp street, wearing House of Harlot Latex, with a bus full of passengers looking down at you.
K.K: Not entirely, thanks to the umbrella I was able to hide a little. I mean with cameras everywhere these days that would have come out for sure. But it was fine in the end and I think it is one of my favourites.
S.S.S: Favourites. Which outfit?
K.K: Um, I liked the Harlot Business suit and the blue dress. Really classic and stylish.
S.S.S: Disliked?
K.K: Oh that F**king red catsuit, to hot, to tight to F**king everything. Never ever again, there were pools of sweat dripping off me. I think I wore that for almost 5 hours because there was a problem with the lights. No not a favourite
S.S.S: Finally I believe you took something home?
K.K: Don’t get carried away now. Yes I did I have the heels from the white room shoot and the red latex Jacket from Polymorphe. Which I think will get a lot of wear.
S.S.S: And the skirt?
K.K: That would be telling.
But the smile on her face tells you all you need to know.
So with her Oscar tipped performance in Anna Karenina and a very provocative campaign for Chanel coming up I think we will be seeing much more of the gorgeous, if potty mouthed, Keira Knightley for years to come.
Now where is my bus timetable?
Andy
Please allow me a little indulgence as I set the scene.
Smoked glass, gleaming chrome and elegant gold details. The warm atmosphere filled with the aroma of warm rubber. Whilst from every direction the click click of killer heels beat out their sensual tattoo on the polished black marble floor. Welcome to the offices of SmoothSlicknShiny, Another day at the heartbeat of sissy and latex fantasy had nearly reached an end, when in the other office, I can hear voices raised above the hush the of the usual sensual whisper. I look up, activate the auto de-smoking on my executive offices glass and stop dead. Now I have had many astonishing adventures from my time as a Maid, to experiencing a Vacbed, from being a very naked and very embarrassed party table
decoration (Bottoms up, hands off please) to being one "Yes" away from stepping full-time into a new life as a young woman, I have had a few "Dear Diary" moments, but now, right now I was looking at something I never imagined seeing in the flesh.
With her dark hair, slicked back to highlight those famous and perfectly feminine features, dramatic eyes,glossed red lips and high polished cheekbones,
British Actress and modern style icon Emma Watson, in skintight blue Latex jeans and ruffled semi-transparent black Latex blouse is posing with cool elegance for our staffs cameras. For a long moment I am spellbound by both the glow of her casual charm and by just how petite she would be if it were not for the 6" black Patent heels. However I am as weak as anyone for a photo and like
everyone else I can't resist just one for a personal keepsake. After a few moments our chief roving reporter Amanda Keira appears and greets our guest with a kiss and hug of an old friend, words are exchanged, a clear compliment on Emmas style brings a wide warm smile to the young beauties face
Ladies and gentlemen This is the day we here at S.S.n.S have been looking forward to. The first sit down interview with the woman at the heart of one of the nations biggest mysteries The Garmentia Latexium curse, Emma Watson.
The world has followed her from budding 7 year old wizard, through her teens as she blossomed into one of the worlds most recognisable and as far as we here a Smoothslicknshiny are concerned, most beautiful women in the world. But in the past few years Actress Emma Watson, has been in the public eye for a very different and bizarre reason. A curse spoken in jest by a colleague has condemned the young Brit to the fate of having some or all of many outfits she wears transforming into polished smooth and slick Latex rubber. It is a phenomena we here at Smooth Slick
N Shiny have followed closely and now for the first time we are delighted and proud to welcome the gorgeous Actress, Model, Style Icon and activist Emma Watson to our offices to finally lay to rest some of the mystery and rumours surrounding this very pubic embarrassment.
and she looked amazing and I always think Kelly Brook looks great and recently Kylie Minogue did a tour with Latex costumes and she looked fabulous, but when I see myself…. I just look….funny. Even this outfit. It may, by the curses standard, be quite conservative but….but it is just feels so wrong. I mean this morning it was a black silk blouse and simple Blue Denim Jeans, now though it is still black over blue, it is wrong.
A.K...... What a thought.........but what about at night
E.W..... Again the curse will transform anything I wear.
A.K..... If I may. There was a myth about your bed linen being transformed. True or false?
E.W...... True in fact. Actually it was quite scary .Um...I had gone to bed, kind of naked, hoping nothing would happen and awoke with the sheets and pillows tightening down about me, until I could not really move much.
A.K..... Like mummifying
E.W......Not really. It turned out the top sheet and the bottom one had melted into one, so I was in this kind of weird Latex envelope with my arms trapped inside and just my head poking out resting on a Latex pillow. After that I just let the curse do its thing. I can put up with a Latex nightdress better than a full Latex bed.
Here is pert two of the converstaion, this part was taken from an interview we at S.S.nS did with Emma some months later.

S.S..n.S.... We believe this is the only shot of you in this dress, it was taken rather quickly but it is quiet a stunning image.

| Emmas' total embarrassment was saved by some very fortunate lighting |
S.S.n.S.... So the original was more modest?
E.W..... Very much so, a lot longer and a more solid bronze colour, Quite a nice dress if it had not been made of Latex rubber. but like I have said, I knew any alternate dress would be effected too, so I just said right, OK if that is what it wants lets give it and just stomped out in front of the cameras, hands on hips, without introduction, sort of "Well here I am then" and caught everyone but you by surprise.
S.S.n.S ......Hard to imagine Emma Watson stomping anywhere, but I see what you mean by it effecting the dress.
E.W..... From the moment I left Claire, to stepping out, the dress had gone up even more and it was not until I saw the reflection in one of the doors that I realised it had taken on that smoky transparency and of cause no underwear. So the moment I felt that cool air down there I was gone like a shot and back away from the cameras.That was apart from yours of cause.
S.S.n.S..... An embarrassing lesson
E.W...... Very, but it has in a way it has taught me to respect the curse and understand its' actions.
