Grace: A Memoir Review: Must-have book for fans of 80s and 90s fashion - This was such a fun, nostalgic read. The author’s writing style is intimate and fun, like chatting with an old friend. If you lived through the 80s and 90s and were tuned into fashion, this book is a delightful walk down memory lane with an insider’s perspective. Review: Great Read, Easy Read, If you love the world of Fashion you will love Grace: A Memoir - Grace: A Memoir was a relaxing, fun read. No tension, no struggles just a wonderful narrative of her life first as a model during the hip 1960's London and Carnaby Street. Then her story evolves into her life as a fashion editor for high fashion magazines. She started in London and then finally ends up at the American Vogue as the second in command to Anna Wintour. Along the way she describes events and photo shoots with lots of famous models, photographers and gives the reader a very intimate personal entry into the world of high fashion, such as the distant photo shots on mountain tops and secluded private beaches around the world. She herself is a very interesting woman and she has a very strong and positive working relationship with Anna Wintour at American Vogue, which you may know is not known for her warm fuzzy personality. But, Grace can handle her without lots of drama and she does. Anyone who is fascinated by fashion and the way it is communicated to the world will find this an absolute wonderful read. It is well over 400 pages but I zipped through it in two settings because of it's ease with the reader. Worth every penny I paid for it. I would love to meet Grace sometime, I know I would like her, actually I do already. She lives with a interesting man in NYC who was a former hairdresser, someone whose path crossed with hers as they did shoots all over the world. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #383,029 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #202 in Fashion Photography (Books) #402 in Journalist Biographies #696 in Fashion Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (744) | | Dimensions | 7.44 x 1.44 x 9.54 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0812993357 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0812993356 | | Item Weight | 2.5 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 416 pages | | Publication date | November 20, 2012 | | Publisher | Random House | ## Images ![Grace: A Memoir - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zaWe0bDfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must-have book for fans of 80s and 90s fashion *by A***H on August 17, 2025* This was such a fun, nostalgic read.

The iconic scenes for me were her interactions with famous editor Anna Wintour. In this book she discusses her years as a fashion model and her life with the celebrities and fashion innovators of her day. I found the book interesting. She has been so many places and has been a part of the fashion industry for over fifty years. It is a foreign world to me, but fascinating nonetheless. The pictures are beautiful and it is fun to compare them to her descriptions of their conceptions. For me the most interesting parts are her perceptions of beauty. She prefers the quirky to the symmetric and the unadorned when possible. She ages as she ages, and that is a fresh perspective. I always enjoy a retrospective from someone at the top tier of their sphere of influence, and this is such a book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Grace: A Memoir - Grace: Thirty Years of Fashion at Vogue - Anna: The Biography --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/286259-grace-a-memoir](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/286259-grace-a-memoir) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
