Grace by Grace Coddington5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() As a bottle blonde nursing grown-in dark roots in the time of social distancing, I could relate-and it got me thinking about how Coddington is faring without her longtime colorist Louis Licari. Towards the end of the book, Coddington gets candid about her signature red hair, insisting that she'd be unrecognizable without it and that it's worth the high-maintenance upkeep. And that it did, ranging from her musings on her childhood spent in Trearddur Bay, a small town on Holy Island in Wales, to her casual tales of becoming a model on the Swinging Sixties scene in London, to starting her styling career at British Vogue before moving across the pond to American Vogue. For years, many a New Yorker has relished the sight of Coddington with that unmistakable shock of russet hair trailing behind her on the West Side of the city.Ī few weeks ago, in search of a distraction while at home, I reached for my bright orange copy of Coddington's beautiful memoir to provide some much-needed escapism. This has been true ever since the early ‘90s, when the legendary Vogue stylist first dyed her lengths a blazing shade of crimson, but was made all the more so upon the release of the 2009 documentary The September Issue, which catapulted her to a new kind of recognizable-on-the-street fame. Grace Coddington is synonymous with red hair. ![]()
