# Gingernutz Takes Paris: An Orangutan Conquers Fashion - Hardcover

by **Michael Roberts** (Artist), **Grace Coddington** (Foreword by)

**In this adorable sequel to the 2017 hit _GingerNutz_, the eponymous orangutan supermodel hits Paris**

She's back After becoming a breakout star in the fashion world, GingerNutz, the first Bornean-born orangutan supermodel, has landed in Paris for a whirlwind week of fittings, photo shoots and parties. Though born in humble jungle surroundings, the precocious primate quickly adjusts to life at the upper echelons of the fashion world: bookings at all the maisons de haute couture, front-row seats to the latest theater shows and hotel suites at the Ritz (with an unlimited supply of fresh bananas).

In this sequel to _GingerNutz: The Jungle Memoir of a Model Orangutan_, we see the ginger-haired beauty cavorting about the famous landmarks of Paris--Notre Dame Cathedral, Caf de Flore--and visiting the ateliers of storied fashion designers, including Azzedine Ala a, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler, Comme des Gar ons and Dries Van Noten. Being the hottest model of the moment, GingerNutz will also model the latest styles--among them, Chanel, Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton, chosen at the Fall 2018 ready-to-wear shows in Paris by Grace Coddington. Michael Roberts' charming text and hand-drawn illustrations capture the wonder and whimsy of a glamorous but still naive young girl's adventures in Paris. The story of GingerNutz was inspired by legendary model and fashion editor Grace Coddington, the longtime creative director of _American Vogue_ and a close friend of the author.

British fashion journalist **Michael Roberts** (born 1947) is fashion royalty: former fashion director for _Vanity Fair_ and the _New Yorker_, he has brought his impeccable style to his work as a writer, illustrator, art director and photographer. He has published several books of his illustrations, including _The Snippy World of Michael Roberts_ and _The Jungle ABC_.
