This beautiful shoot entitled Paris Je T’aime from the 2007 Vogue September issue was photographed by Steven Meisel, and styled by Grace Coddington. The models are Coco Rocha, Guinevere Van Seenus, Caroline Trentini, Sasha Pivovarova, Gemma Ward and Agyness Deyn.

Grace Coddington is in fact Vogue’s Creative Director, and is in charge of most of the fashion shoots. If you’re interested in her (and the almighty Anna Wintour) and Vogue in general, then you might want to check out the new documentary, The September Issue:

I haven’t seen it yet, but reviews are good, and it sounds like Grace Coddington is as much the star as Anna Wintour herself. In the New York Times, the director R.J. Cutler said, “[Anna] is cool, [Grace] is warm and languid,” he said. “Anna is all about ‘next,’ and Grace is most interested in a historical perspective on art and fashion.” Sounds like our kind of lady!

Here’s a fun article on the subject over at Gawker: How Grace Coddington Stole The September Issue From Anna Wintour

Drop a comment if you’ve seen the documentary!

Can’t help myself, I just love these images. Here’s a few more vintage fashion photographs from MyVintageVogue.com, this time from late 1930s. Gorgeous!

Just discovered a fabulous website full of vintage magazine fashion images from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s (and not just Vogue): www.myvintagevogue.com

Here’s a few of my favourites from the early 1930s, I’ll post some more from other decades soon!
