Grace Coddington about her work with Helmut Newton

in fashion •  7 years ago 

He (Helmut Newton) said: "I am going to do one picture like the story of Leda and the Swan. I will need a stuffed swan, and it's going to be raping Nadja". Well, I just nodded, thinking, "There's no way this will ever happen when Anna (Wintour) gets to hear of it". But the next second Helmut is telling this story to Anna on the phone and she is saying something like: "Oh, Helmut darling, what a great idea!" So a stuffed swan is eventually tracked down from a shop in Paris specializing in taxidermy and shipped at great expense to Monte Carlo, with Anna now saying, "Oh, well, you know, I just wanted to humor him".(c) Grace Coddington.
