INSPIRING - Cioccolato!

Grace Coddington

 Coddington was born to hotelier parents on the island of Anglesey, Wales. Her interest in fashion began in her teens, when she would anxiously await the arrival of a current issue of Vogue magazine, which was at least three months outdated due to the fact that she needed to order it on "Rush-Copy". She lived miles away from any designer shops, so Vogue was her only connection to the fashion world. She says that she loves "the whole sort of chic thing [about Vogue ] that was so entirely out of context compared to the lifestyle that [she] led". As a teen, she was pale-skinned and convent-educated and never went anywhere on her holidays, so she just looked at Vogue. Around the age of 17, there was a Vogue model competition, and someone submitted her pictures. She ended up winning the Young Model section. She then began her modeling career for Vogue

At the age of 26, Grace was in car accident which left her disfigured (she lost her eyelid). She later had plastic surgery to have it reconstructed. Two years after the accident, at the age of 28, she was interviewed by British Vogue's Editor, Beatrix Miller and she was employed as a Junior Editor. After nineteen years as Photo Editor with British Vogue^, she moved to New York to work for Calvin Klein In July 1988, she joined Anna Wintour at American Vogue, where she remains the magazine's creative director.

HERMES & Potenza Shouler-- FALL 2011

Abiti che sembrano animarsi ed uscire da manifesti pubblicitari degli anni '20. Geometrie, linee pulite, curve e ben squadrate, rappresentano alla perfezione l'anima ruggente di quei decenni.

In un gioco ben equilibrato dove la pesca di una figura, di un idea, di una forma del passato subisce una metamorfosi e diviene qualcosa di proiettabile nel futuro. 

Sono gli anni della moda della "Maschietta" (flapper); ragazze disinibite dai capelli corti affollano i locali da ballo.

Al cinema The Jazz Singer è il primo film parlato della storia e con lui i primi effetti speciali e nasce Topolino - Il suo debutto avviene il 18 novembre 1928 al Colony Theatre di New York, nel cortometraggio Steamboat Willie.
