EPISODE THREE | Art and Alchemy: Perry Ogden in conversation with Grace Coddington
In the final episode, renowned photographer and filmmaker Perry Ogden meets the legendary creative-director-at-large of American Vogue magazine, Grace Coddington, to discuss the magic of photography and the role it has played in Grace’s life: from her days as a model in late-50s London, to her role as a fashion editor at British Vogue and then creative director of American Vogue. Grace has collaborated with many of the great fashion and portrait photographers of the last sixty years, including Norman Parkinson, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, Bruce Weber, Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh and Steven Meisel, creating images for Vogue—some of which now sell at auction for high prices. This episode was recorded on location at Grace’s apartment in New York in January 2020.
