Say Grace!

Grace Coddington & Anna Wintour

~An example of Grace's work~

Grace Coddington, Welsh born, once a model for British Vogue, then worked for British Vogue and then came to American Vogue. If you have not seen the movie-documentary, September Issue, and you work in any artistic medium or just love fashion, this will give you a peek into the whole design process. It's intriguing to watch Grace spin her beauty into the pages of Vogue magazine. As the documentary begins, it seems everything will revolve around Anna (Wintour), but Grace emerges into the spotlight whilst Anna remains hidden behind her sunglasses. The DVD is now available for viewing if you didn't get to see it when it was released in the theaters.

Our favorite line in the movie is one that Grace makes about some advice given to her by photographer Norman Parkinson when Grace was still modeling... "Keep your eyes open, don't sleep in the car, look around, you never know where inspiration comes from".

It is apparent that these words have stuck with Grace throughout her career. Her work is stunning!
