From the publisher:
Grace Coddingtons extraordinary talent and fierce dedication to her work as creative director ofVoguehave made her an international icon. Known through much of her career only to those behind the scenes, she might have remained fashions best-kept secret were it not forThe September Issue,the acclaimed 2009 documentary that turned publicity-averse Grace into a sudden, reluctant celebrity. Graces palpable engagement with her work brought a rare insight into the passion that produces many of the magazines most memorable shoots.
Delightfully underscored by Graces pen-and-ink illustrations,Gracewill introduce readers to the colorful designers, hairstylists, makeup artists, photographers, models, and celebrities with whom Grace has created her signature images.
