Grace Coddington

Grace's extraordinary talent and fierce dedication to her work as creative director of Vogue have made her an international icon.

Known through much of her career only to those who work behind the scenes, she might have remained fashion's best-kept secret were it not for The September Issue, the acclaimed 2009 documentary by R. J. Cutler that turned the publicity-averse Grace into a sudden celebrity.

The daughter of an hotelier in Wales, as a teenager Grace won a modeling competition and moved to London. She enjoyed a lucrative career as one of London's leading models on the 1960s scene. In 1968, following a car accident, she took a job as a junior fashion editor at British Vogue.

She quickly established herself as a master stylist and creative director for fashion photography, whether she was transforming studio portraiture into beguiling tableaux, reinterpreting fashion photography classics, or by introducing a sweeping narrative epic style story telling with clothing that is the hallmark of Grace Coddington's work.

I purchased this as I was looking for a not so ‘cliche’ coffee table statement…
I loved the look of the book visually, but the real treasure lies inside. Hundreds of beautiful images, many captured from legendary photographers, such as Annie Leibovitz.
Grace Coddingtons ability to tell a story through the medium of fashion, is showcased in this gorgeous book that I’m sure will be with me, and admired by guests for many years to come.
Fantastic price, roughly $100 less here, when compared to most other book stores.
I recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Art, and Fashion.
