The September Issue Page #6

So I used to order it and rush

once a month to get my copy,

which was probably three months

out of date.

I loved

the whole sort of chic thing...

...that was so entirely out of context

compared to the lifestyle I led.

You know, I went to school.

I went to a convent.

I never went anywhere

for my holidays,

and so I just looked at Vogue.

At the same time, there was

a Vogue model competition,

and somebody sent

my very bad pictures in.

And I actually

won the young section.

'Cause I was quite young

at that time.

And so I started modeling

for Vogue.

Somehow everything I did,

I kind of fell into.

I just knew that I probably

had to get out of that place.

So I went up to London,

and I became a full-time model.

These are the pictures of me

by various photographers.

This is one of

my very first model pictures.

It's probably '59 by Lord Snowden.

I stopped modeling

because I had a car crash.

My head went

into the driving mirror,

or my eye went

into the driving mirror.

So I had a lot of plastic surgery.

And then two years later,

I sort of went back to work.

This is from a shoot that I did

with Bailey, Helmut.

This is Manolo Blahnik,

and this is Anjelica Huston

when she was modeling.

I was offered a job

at British Vogue.

I was a junior editor,

and kind of slowly

worked my way up.

Hello.

- Ms. Coddington.

Oh, my God.

How was your shoot?

It was great.

This is really good, isn't it?

Good, aren't they?

Who styled that?

- Grace, right?

Grace and Craig.

It's real nice.

- It's beautiful.

Grace is without question

the greatest living stylist.

There's no one better

than Grace.

There's no one

who can make any photographer...

...take more beautiful, more interesting,

more romantic,

more just stunningly realized

pictures than Grace.

There's no one better. Period.

She comes

from the idea that fashion...

...is this world of play

and make-believe.

It's as if someone's gone to

the dressing-up box...

...and found the most

kind of wonderful, personal things...

...and put them together.

But it's beautiful.

Hi, Anna.

- Hi.

I'm not crazy about this one,

are you?

I like it.

Do we need this?

It's just not saying texture to me.

All the others, l--

Do you understand

what I'm saying?

Yeah.

I'm just really, really concerned

about how much black we're getting.

So, if we were

to just take another one out?

Maybe that?

Let me see it.

Let me just see it.

Whose is that?

Something got snapped off here.

Which one went?

That's the guess.

Oh, yes, of course,

the other black one.

Those poor goddamn Rodartes.

I know. They're out.

Rubber's not a texture?

And leather's definitely--
