Grace Coddington doesn't just style pictures, she builds worlds. In this rare and unfiltered conversation, the legendary creative director sits down with Jill and longtime friend Karen Mulligan to talk about the images that defined her and the ones that almost broke her.
From her early modeling days and Beatrix Miller's British Vogue to the Anna Wintour era in New York, Grace reflects on a career shaped by instinct, irreverence, and one very iconic hairdo. She revisits the chaos of the Wizard of Oz shoot with Keira Knightley, the comic genius of Ben Stiller's Funny Face spoof, and the time Sean “Diddy” Combs and Kate Moss tested her patience (and her vision) on set.
She goes deep on her collaborations with Steven Klein, Peter Lindbergh, and Annie Leibovitz, breaking down the creative friction, trust, and unspoken language behind some of Vogue's most unforgettable fashion stories. Now in her "post-Vogue" chapter, Grace opens up about drawing, pottery, Louis Vuitton, and why she'll never stop telling stories through style. This is Grace Coddington like you've never heard her: intimate, hilarious, and still rogue after all these years.
