Beschreibung

The world's first orangutan supermodel becomes Vogue magazine's first orangutan fashion stylist, in the final installment of Michael Roberts' delightful series inspired by Grace Coddington GingerNutz used to be a normal young orangutan living in Borneo, head full of dreams about someday making it big in fashion. When a copy of Vogue magazine in a bottle washes up on shore, GingerNutz decides to make her dreams a reality by becoming the world's first-ever orangutan supermodel. In the third and final installment of British fashion journalist Michael Roberts' charming series, our heroine is eager for a new fashion adventure. After years of modeling haute couture as Vogue's cover girl, GingerNutz decides to become the one who decides what the cover girl should wear. Hand-picking garments from the latest collections and traveling the globe to direct photoshoots is exciting, but a young orangutan can only take so much of the jet-set lifestyle. Readers then join GingerNutz on her search for the perfect country cottage in which to to live out the rest of her days with some much-needed privacy-but not before she gets to enjoy one last flourish of the royal treatment. Inspired by the life of fashion editor Grace Coddington and featuring 65 hand-drawn illustrations by Roberts, GingerNutz in Full Bloom is both a cheeky homage to the fashion icon's storied career and a fantastical portrayal of the glitz and glam of the fashion world.

Often described as "visionary," Michael Roberts was appointed the first fashion director of the New Yorker in 1997. The following decade, Graydon Carter named him fashion and style director of Vanity Fair, where he continues as the emeritus style editor-at-large. A celebrated illustrator and as a filmmaker, Michael Roberts is a recipient of an MTV award. He has authored many books, among them The Snippy World of Fashion Artist Michael Roberts (Steidl, 2005) and Fashion Victims (Harper Collins, 2008. Roberts also wrote Grace Coddington's memoir and edited two volumes of her work, Thirty Years of Fashion at Vogue and The American Vogue Years. He wrote, coproduced, and directed Manolo: The Boy Who Made Shoes for Lizards (2017). Roberts lives and works in Taormina, Sicily. Grace Coddington's extraordinary talent and fierce dedication to her work as creative director of Vogue have made her an international icon. The daughter of a hotelier in Wales, Coddington was a teenager when she won a Vogue modeling competition and moved to London to become one of the top models on the city's swinging 1960s fashion scene. In 1968, she decided she wanted to work behind the camera and was hired by British Vogue as a junior editor. She soon established herself as a master stylist and in 1988 joined Anna Wintour at American Vogue, where she became its creative director at large.
