INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
Grace Coddington’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 behind the scenes, she might have remained fashion’s best-kept secret were it not for The September Issue, the acclaimed 2009 documentary that turned publicity-averse Grace into a sudden, reluctant celebrity. Grace’s palpable engagement with her work brought a rare insight into the passion that produces many of the magazine’s most memorable shoots.

“[A] splashy, dishy, very giftable memoir…. Charmingly forthright…. Coddington’s work as an editor does not outglam her youthful adventure stories. But it’s at the heart of this book, and she presents it with both passion and whimsy.”
—Janet Maslin, The New York Times Book Review
“Coddington…has a winning voice and admirable common sense…. Who wouldn’t want to spend a few hours in her company anyway?”
—The New York Observer
“If you have a stylista (or stylisto) on your list, buy this book.”
—Toronto Star
“Grace is candid, but not salacious—if no gloves come off, it’s because Coddington never wore any in the first place. [Grace unfolds] in a very conversational, matter-of-fact manner…. Coddington isn’t shy about speaking her mind on industry issues…. But she also reveals some of the tenderness and friendship behind all the air-kissing.”
—Nathalie Atkinson, National Post
“Worth a read for the name-dropping alone.”
—Los Angeles Times
