When I first saw the December cover of VOGUE, I thought: How tremendously odd. The very talented JESSICA CHASTAIN was contorted and draped rather oddly in what appeared to be a boat which peaked my curiosity, so last night when I sat down to read the editorial, I was pleasantly surprised and properly inspired. I absolutely love the art + fashion collaboration between Grace Coddington and Annie Leibovitz that transports a very modern 21st century Jessica into impressionist masterpieces. It’s nothing short of genius, but do we expect anything less from Grace and Annie?
