【Book Description】
Few figures in contemporary fashion publishing have shaped the visual language of fashion imagery as profoundly as Grace Coddington. Renowned for her instinctive eye, narrative sensibility, and unwavering creative vision, she has spent decades redefining the possibilities of fashion photography through images rich in drama, poetry, and imagination. From model to editor and ultimately creative director, Coddington has become one of the most influential and celebrated creative voices in the fashion world.
Grace: Now is the third volume in Grace Coddington’s acclaimed portfolio series, focusing on her most recent decade of work as an independent creative force. Since stepping away from her full-time role at Vogue, she has continued to collaborate with some of the world's leading photographers, stylists, and fashion houses, demonstrating a creative vitality and cultural relevance that remain as powerful as ever.
The book features more than 200 remarkable fashion images created for leading international publications including American Vogue, British Vogue, W, and Document. Collaborations with legendary photographers such as Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh, Steven Meisel, Craig McDean, Paolo Roversi, and Mert & Marcus showcase Coddington’s distinctive storytelling approach and unparalleled visual imagination.
Alongside the photography, readers are invited behind the scenes through Coddington’s personal commentaries and creative reflections, offering insight into the making of these memorable editorial projects. The volume also includes her signature sketches, revealing the evolution of ideas from initial concept to finished image and adding a playful, intimate dimension to the book.
More than a fashion photography collection, Grace: Now is a visual memoir of creativity, imagination, and an extraordinary career. Through a rich interplay of images, texts, and drawings, the book celebrates Grace Coddington’s enduring achievements as an editor, creative director, and visual storyteller, while highlighting her lasting influence on contemporary fashion culture.
