Synopsis
Beautiful. Willful. Charming. Blunt. 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. With the witty, forthright voice that has endeared her to her colleagues and peers for more than forty years, Grace now creatively directs the reader through the storied narrative of her life so far. Evoking the time when models had to tote their own bags and props to shoots, Grace describes her early career as a model, working with such world-class photographers as David Bailey and Norman Parkinson, before she stepped behind the camera to become a fashion editor at British Vogue in the late 1960s. Here she began creating the fantasy "travelogues" that would become her trademark. In 1988 she joined American Vogue, where her breathtakingly romantic and imaginative fashion features, a sampling of which appear in this book, have become instant classics. Delightfully underscored by Grace's pen-and-ink illustrations, Grace will introduce readers to the colorful designers, hairstylists, makeup artists, photographers, models, and celebrities with whom Grace has created her signature images. Grace reveals her private world with equal candor--the car accident that almost derailed her modeling career, her two marriages, the untimely death of her sister, Rosemary, her friendship with Harper's Bazaar editor-in-chief Liz Tilberis, and her thirty-year romance with Didier Malige. Finally, Grace describes her abiding relationship with Anna Wintour, and the evolving mastery by which she has come to define the height of fashion. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FINANCIAL TIMES "If Wintour is the Pope . . . Coddington is Michelangelo, trying to paint a fresh version of the Sistine Chapel twelve times a year."-- Time

    Ítem came as described. Fair value. There was three Shipment Exceptions through FedEx. Each time it said the barcode label was unreadable and replaced. That prolonged the arrival of the package by three days. Was that because of how it was packaged? Lastly, I spent twenty dollars for shipping but it didn’t come in a box. I feel that was too much given the risk. Risk brought on by the lack of privacy or shock protection. The board was just wrapped in eBay tape, plastic, and brown paper.

    I made an offer for the plaque and was notified of it being accepted. PayPal promptly paid the seller. There evidently was multiple bids for the plaque. This created a fog of confusion and my offer was not the “winner”. My bid and payment was promptly refunded. I am very impressed this seller’s communications and prompt answers to my inquiries. This almost transaction will not deter me future bidding on the seller’s items. He was very courteous and professional. Definitely A+++.

  • Great buy

    I got this used book for so cheap in comparison to purchasing it brand new and although it was labeled as used it was practically new. Not disappointed at all. It was also delivered in great time. Totally worth it.
