Grace Coddington's birtday party

April 14 "This was a moment that will be remembered as one of the finest evenings, full of emotion, sincerity, warmth, and camaraderie.  Kate Mulleavy told me at the end of the night, “This is better than the Oscars, to be in this room with all the people you admire.” It was Grace-worthy! As Anna Wintour said, “I think of Grace as the heart and soul of the magazine. She is a beacon of excellence.”  by Andre Leon Talley photographed by Hannah Thomson (see all)
