”Windsor Suite”



"The Great Pretender": Wallis Franken as Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, by Karl Lagerfeld for the New York Times Magazine September 19th, 1993

The shoot was done in what is called the ”Windsor Suite” at the Paris Ritz. The model who portrayed Wallis Windsor was the tragic Italian Vogue cover model Wallis Franken, wife of Claude Montana. Franken’s ability to resemble the Duchess was remarkable.
