Next month, never before seen photos from Grace Coddington's modeling days will be going on display at The Ivy Club in London.

The photos are from the limited edition collection of photographer Willie Christie, who was married to the Vogue creative director from 1974-1978.

Christie says of his ex-wife:

"She was so brilliant as a model because she had an appreciation and understanding of art in all its forms; mimicry; gentleness and serenity. She understood everything that the clothes were trying to do. She became the image. She had then and still has, an absolute passion for all that she does. Photographically - and personally - Grace was everything I was looking for. And she was willing. Lucky me!"

Appointments to see the exhibit can be made from September 16th-19th here.

So much for that roadblock!

Vogue creative director Grace Coddington has sold her memoir to Random House for $1.2 million.

Jay Fielden was originally slated to co-author Grace's memoir, but has since been replaced with Vogue writer Michael Roberts.

Congrats!

Chanel Gets Catty For Fall

Filed Under: Fashion Smashion Ad Campaigns Grace Coddington Chanel Carine Roitfeld

Me-ow!

The first ad from Chanel's fall campaign is out and it's, umm, different?

The ad was styled by Carine Roitfeld and features model Freja Beha Erichsen dressed as a cat. In a photo booth.

Makes sense, right?

Grace Coddington probably thinks this is purr-fect.

At least he does in the latest issue of Vogue.

A dapper looking Alexander Skarsgard has found himself in the middle of a love triangle in the magazine's July issue.

The film noir spread was styled by Vogue's fashion editor Grace Coddington and stars Lara Stone as the femme fatale and Frida Gustavsson as the other woman.

We're loving this ed! The styling is spot on and of course, Alexander looks HAWT!
