February 20th, 2007 Claire Danes is Kindergarten Sophisticate

Claire Danes is featured in the Spring Fashion 2007 issue of New York Magazine with her “kindergarten sophisticate” style. Photographs by Alex Cayley, styling by Harriet Mars Powell. Here are a few excerpts from the 27-year-old actress’s interview:

  • On her own fashion: “I always feel kind of defeated by how often I wear jeans. Plus I have a real weakness for animals on clothing, and hearts and stars. My mom had a nursery school in our loft and a pretty healthy appreciation for kitsch, so I think I appropriated that.”
  • On staying local in NYC: “I’m incredibly provincial. Lucky Strike is across the street from where I live, so it’s my cafeteria. Right now, with the weather, I love bistro food, especially coq au vin. But there’s also Omen, and Blue Ribbon Sushi and Bakery. I love Raoul’s and Lupa. They’re all my spots and they all know me. It’s very Cheers-like. Like any New Yorker, it takes enormous effort for me to leave my neighborhood.”

Claire will be playing a torch singer in the adaptation of Susan Minot’s Evening, directed by Lajos Koltai and co-starring Meryl Streep, Toni Collette, Hugh Dancy, Glenn Close, and Vanessa Redgrave. Evening is set for a 2007 release.
