I love our December issues. We always mark the holidays with a fantastic, and fantastical, fashion portfolio; and this year Creative Director Grace Coddington has conspired with Annie Leibovitz to produce a stunningly dramatic spin on The Wizard of Oz. The project began in the summer, when Grace was captivated by the idea of a very specific look-in her words, "Bonpoint for grown-ups"-on the lovely Keira Knightley. Grace got going, as she tends to: instructing our top designers to make sweet Empire dresses that transitioned from nursery to cocktail; persuading artists such as Jasper Johns and Chuck Close to take part in the photographic pantomime. And, as is so often the case, Grace's fashion intuition was clairvoyant: I've just returned from the spring collections, and lacy Empire smocks and pinafores were everywhere, from Chloe to Dolce & Gabbana to Chanel.

I'm also thrilled by the foresight ...
