Is the woman behind the fashion devil also a devil?

We are all familiar with Anna Antul, the devil of fashion. Large-scale fashion shows are always covered by standard golden crew cuts, big sunglasses and Chanel skirts, and sitting in the front row is as unsmiling as an authoritative symbol of fashion. And there is always a lady sitting next to her who doesn't quite match her style of painting.

A particularly conspicuous red hair, wearing clothes that are often not slim skirts like Anna's, but often loose styles; While watching the program carefully, I quickly recorded it with a small notebook. Even when everyone left after a performance, she was still looking through her notebook.

She is grace coddington, the creative consultant director of American vogue. He worked as an editor of British vogue for 20 years, and then as a creative director of American vogue. Worked with Anna Antul for more than 20 years, and left on 16. But she still works as a creative consultant, shooting at least four groups of blockbusters every year-it is said that Grace's series of changes have been discussed with Anna Untul, and the American version of vogue will reserve an office for her, which shows her position in Vogue and Anna's vision.

Grace's personality is completely different from Anna's. She is gentle and easygoing. She always speaks frankly with her colleagues, usually loves to laugh, and has a friendly attitude towards models. In the documentary "September", while dressing the model in difficult clothes, Grace quipped: "I am one of the few fashion editors who dress the model in person. I heard that it is popular now not to touch the model in person. " "Are all the assistants helping you wear them?" She said, "I don't care. I may be conservative. "

But she is not that kind of good man, especially in such a competitive field as fashion circle. She is easily overwhelmed by the sharpness of others because of her weak personality. Grace always defends her views with a tough attitude when facing Anna, the editor-in-chief.

After the work of Johnson Sanders, a London designer, was judged by Anna as not the style the magazine wanted to express, she found Grace and complained with a wry smile that her work was rejected. "I don't want to live, I don't know what to do."

Grace comforted him, "Contrast color is to put different colors together. You must be strong. You should be brave enough to put forward your own ideas, otherwise you will only be accused. Not too easy, even for me. Really, otherwise you will lose completely. "

"You should learn to explore your own path, give yourself a sense of existence and voice, and give yourself irreplaceable value."

"Try to work in vogue. After all, people here are very mobile because they can't stand setbacks. You must persevere (bear it quite strongly).

Grace grew up in North Wales. She likes fashion very much, because the life described by fashion has little to do with her lifestyle of going to school and going to the monastery every day. This freshness and imagination fascinated her. Grace began to read vogue when she was a teenager. Because it is difficult to buy in her hometown, all her books are ordered, so when she got them, it was basically three months ago.

Out of love for fashion, she took some photos when she was a teenager and was sent to a fashion magazine as a joke by her classmates. Later, her photo was unexpectedly selected-this became an important opportunity to push her into the fashion world.

You can see that Grace was a great beauty when she was young.

Later, Grace had a car accident and had to undergo plastic surgery many times. Finally, she quit the modeling industry. But she still loves fashion, so she started from scratch and worked as an editor in the British version of vogue. Twenty years later, she came to American vogue, and she worked hard all the way to become the creative director of American vogue.

"Grace is undoubtedly the best stylist now. No one can beat her. Except for her, no one can let photographers take the most beautiful, interesting, romantic, amazing and authentic photos. " "Her ideas all come from the idea that fashion is fashion, a world of play and pretending, just like opening a cosmetics box, finding out all the most beautiful things in it and putting them together." This is what her colleague photographer said about her.

In addition to her excellent professional ability, Grace herself has a good sense of humor. Grace spent almost half her time in Anna Untul's documentary "September" about her real work. In the film, she said to the camera, "I love talking to Anna about the budget in front of the camera, which can drive her crazy, haha." At the same time, this is also a move to raise the budget ceiling. "

During the production of the September issue, Grace and photographer Patrick took a photo, which was the moment when documentary photographer Bob and the model jumped face to face. Anna Untul teased that this film needs to be improved because Bob's beer belly is a bit obvious. She told Bob half jokingly, "You must go to the gym".

Grace said to Bob, "I think it's a good thing that you're not too thin." Because it can show that you are really a person of other professions, not a model. There are no perfect people in the world. I think it's enough for the model to be perfect in front of the camera. You don't have to go to the gym. "

Later, I specially called the later staff, "Charlie, when you fix Patrick's photo, please don't fix Bob's big belly. Yes, I hope you don't fix it. Now he is doing abdominal rhytidectomy. "
