Grace Coddington is Writing a Memoir

Monday, Aug 23, 2010 / 8:27 AM

Vogue‘s creative director and fashion industry icon Grace Coddington is writing a book about her life, reports WWD. Former Men’s Vogue editor-in-chief Jay Fielding, who has collaborated with Coddington in the past, is her writing partner.

Coddington’s mainstream notoriety has skyrocketed since The September Issue, which means the project is sure to be a hit with fashion insiders and fashion admirers alike. The stylist says that the book will not only cover her life–including her years as a model and time spent at Calvin Klein and British Vogue–but also plenty of fashion history.

As Anna Wintour’s Vogue begins to look less and less like “Anna Wintour’s Vogue“–as we know it, at least–expect more senior staffers to reflect on their legendary careers, whether through books, articles, or museum retrospectives. As the brightest star, it’s no surprise Coddington is leading the pack.

I felt so sorry for her in The September Issue. I hope this book is really honest as it’d be nice to get a more detailed look at how she feels about her work and whether or not she is underappreciated.

I expect lots of fantastic photographs, beautiful felines and her real views on Vogue (this might be hoping for too much).

Watching The September Issue, I kept wishing I could have seen all the Grace organised shoots which didn’t make it into the magazine. They seemed so artistic and beautiful.
