Must-have accessory: Ms Coddington's memoir traces her rise to fashion stardom



The much-anticipated memoir is said to cover everything from the fashion mogul's childhood in Wales to her time as a model during the Sixties.

Co-authored with her friend and Vanity Fair style editor-at-large Michael Roberts, publishing group Random House reportedly offered her $1.2m for the deal.
Discussing the contents of the work she told the New York Daily Post: 'I’m not telling secret stories... Not writing ugly bad things to get back at anyone.

This book’s not gossipy. It’s more a record.
'I’ve kept a diary since I was a tiny kid trying to find my way, and going through all my written records reminds me of shoots and jogs my memory.'


Commissioned in 2010 she was forced to put the project on hold as Jay Fielden, who she'd originally planned on writing it with, accepted the job as editor-in-chief at Town & Country.
The duo previously collaborated on her 2002 work Grace: Thirty Years of Fashion at Vogue.
After spending decades in the fashion industry, spending the majority of her career at Vogue, Ms Coddington received much attention in 2009 with the release of the The September Issue.

The fly-on-the-wall documentary followed her as she helped editor-in-chief Anna Wintour style and produce the September 2007 issue.
Ms Coddington was previously married to restaurateur.Michael Chow and later to photographer Willie Christie, however both relationships ended in divorce.
She currently lives in New York and Long Island with her partner, Didier Malige, and their two cats, Bart and Pumpkin.

Her memoir simply titled Grace, which also features a collection of her own pen-and-ink illustrations is priced at $35 and is set to hit the shelves in November 20.

She is a woman of style and taste, unlike Anna. What it comes to personal style, I mean.
