Tuesday, March 26th, 2013 by mfn

In the April edition of Vogue, Peter Lindbergh and Grace Coddington have joined forces to reprise ‘Rear Window’, the classic Hitchcock film starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly.

Tobey Maguire plays L.B. “Jeff” Jeffries, while Carolyn Murphy plays Lisa Carol Fremont, with Laurie Metcalf dropping in to play the nurse.

Referencing shots from the original film …….

Grace Coddington and Balenciaga

Wednesday, August 29th, 2012 by mfn

I may be the last to know …. but Grace Coddington has designed a capsule collection with Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga, named after her cat, Pumpkin. The scarves and bags will feature Grace’s own drawings of Pumpkin modelling various Balenciaga looks from the past 10 years or so. And of course, this will be launched next week at Fashion’s Night Out.
