This month Maryna Linchuk (Ford) enjoyed simultaneous Vogue covers (Japan and Spain) and this afternoon it is her Vogue España enero 2012 cover story by photographer Vincent Peters that is of particular interest. Titled “Siempre Grace,” or always grace en Español, Maryna turns back the decades on the thirtieth anniversary of the tragic automobile death of the Princess Grace of Monaco otherwise known as Hollywood actress Grace Kelly. To that end the Russian beauty opens the story looking back over her left shoulder wearing a blue organza dress by Dior, earrings with diamonds and emeralds by Chopard, diamond necklace by Tiffany & Co., and a diamond bracelet by Chaumet. The framing of the shot alone could be straight from Hitchcock’s Rear Window (1954), but Maryna’s femme fatale sultriness ensures the story’s celluloid tone firmly established from the offing. This glamorous thread runs throughout the story and is made to look especially effortless in the shot (#10 in the below slide show) where Maryna lounges on a sofa with her legs dangling over the arm rest. She is bathed in light perhaps from a film projector and wears a white and black dress, black leather heels, and holds a clutch, all by Lanvin. Over sixteen pages in length the cover story is a living testament to the memory of Grace Kelly and that Maryna Linchuk is the designated exponent of the late star’s elegance is no surprise whatsoever.
