Stylist
Creative Director
Grace Coddington
Grace Coddington (born April 20, 1941) is a former model and the creative director at large of American Vogue magazine. Coddington is known for the creation of large, complex and dramatic photoshoots.
Her interest in fashion began in her teens, when she would anxiously await the arrival of a current issue of Vogue magazine, which was at least three months outdated because she needed to order it on "rush-copy." Coddington lived many miles away from any designer shops, so Vogue was her only connection to the fashion world. She says that she loves "the whole sort of chic thing ("Italianate culture") that was so entirely out of context compared to the lifestyle that she led." As a teen, she was pale-skinned, convent-educated and never went anywhere on her holidays, so she just looked at Vogue.
Around the age of 17, there was a Vogue model competition, and someone submitted her pictures. She ended up winning the Young Model section. She then began her modeling career for Vogue.
