The Brilliance that is Grace Coddington

On an autumnal afternoon recently, the Graceful Taylor finally caught up with the phenomenon that is The September Issue, the documentary about Vogue and its editor Anna Wintour.

And like many before us, we’ve been captivated by the other woman. Grace Coddington, Vogue’s Creative Director emerges as the creative star, the brilliant driving force behind what we associate with Vogue – fashion photos elevated to works of art, full of whimsy and flawlessly executed. Her fusion of colour and lighting is stunning. Her attention to detail is humbling.

Who cares if she has a reputation as scary and cold? She just gets on with her job and lets the hype pass her by. Look at the images below and we reckon you’ll agree – more power to her!
