GingerNutz in Bloom From Supermodel to Super Stylist and Beyond Fashion

The world’s first orangutan supermodel becomes Vogue magazine’s first orangutan fashion stylist, in the final installment of Michael Roberts’ delightful series inspired by Grace Coddington

GingerNutz used to be a normal young orangutan living in Borneo, head full of dreams about someday making it big in fashion. When a copy of Vogue magazine in a bottle washes up on shore, GingerNutz decides to make her dreams a reality by becoming the world’s first-ever orangutan supermodel.

In the third and final installment of British fashion journalist Michael Roberts’ charming series, our heroine is eager for a new fashion adventure. After years of modeling haute couture as Vogue’s cover girl, GingerNutz decides to become the one who decides what the cover girl should wear. Hand-picking garments from the latest collections and traveling the globe to direct photoshoots is exciting, but a young orangutan can only take so much of the jet-set lifestyle. Readers then join GingerNutz on her search for the perfect country cottage in which to to live out the rest of her days with some much-needed privacy–but not before she gets to enjoy one last flourish of the royal treatment.

Inspired by the life of fashion editor Grace Coddington and featuring 65 hand-drawn illustrations by Roberts, GingerNutz in Full Bloom is both a cheeky homage to the fashion icon’s storied career and a fantastical portrayal of the glitz and glam of the fashion world.
