Decadence: Grace Coddington's Hot House Flowers

Decadence by divadebbi 

I literally gasped when I came upon Vogue's Creative Director Grace Coddington's, magnificent collaboration with  photographer Steven Klein in January's Vogue.

Entitled, "Hot House Flowers", Grace gives us her take on Spring. It is in turns, lush, minimalist and decadent.  I adore her sensibility.

I was immediately inspired to create a Polyvore set using one of the more esoteric images.  One can only imagine what's in the trunk...

Fashion lovers, don't miss the January 2013 issue of Vogue.  The delightful Gwen Stefani graces the cover...

My folk heroes!!! With the exception of the delightful 99 year old Babs Simpson, I have followed all of these women's storied careers via their inestimable contribution to Vogue.

Last night HBO debuted In Vogue: The Editor's Eye, in commemoration of the magazines 120 years in print.  The documentary, aims to answer the question, "What does a fashion editor do?".

If the editors appear stymied, its because what they do is not written or easily verbalized. They create art by choreographing and to a degree, manipulating fashion, exotic locations and their chosen models to give life and history to their often intoxicating visions.
