For those of you who are still not aware of the background of this visionary, then, please log off now. Grace shot to fame in the 1960's as a top fashion model, before a car crash caused her to leave the world of modelling. Then, as chance would have it, she started as an assistant fashion editor for Vogue London. The rest as they say is history.
Recently, Grace shot to fame and became a household name,appearing in the "Fly On The Wall" Vogue documentary "The September Issue" cataloging her creative genius and tempestuous relationship with Anna Wintour within the confines of American Vogue, heralding her by the team as "The Worlds Greatest Living Stylist".
I am delighted to say Grace comes across just as pleasantly in real life, and she took 1 minute out of her exceptional schedule to pose for a photograph and a quick Interview.
Here is what she said:
Charlie:
Hi Grace Welcome to Paris, how many years is this you have been coming here now?
Grace:
As many as I care to remember. Nice Accent, where are you from? And nice blazer.
Charlie:
I am Scottish, and yes I tried to echo the Gothic theme of the Demeulemeester trend.
Grace:
Politely nods and said ok.
Charlie:
So, what did you think of the show?
Grace:
Very good, lots of drapey long sheer layers, and I loved the wide brimmed hats, and music.
Charlie:
Yes I loved the movement and the contrast in textures throughout the collection.
Charlie:
My shoes are all sand though with the floor finish though.
Grace:
Laughs. Well I need to be saying good bye.
Charlie:
Thank you very much for taking the time to agree to this. Please may we have a picture as well?
Grace:
With pleasure.
She smiled, she posed and before the flash went off, she was off to the next show. What a lady.
