Beautiful. Willful. Charming. Blunt. Grace Coddington’s extraordinary talent and fierce dedication to her work as creative director of Vogue have made her an international icon. Known through much of her career only to those behind the scenes, she might have remained fashion’s best-kept secret were it not for The September Issue, the acclaimed 2009 documentary that turned publicity-averse Grace into a sudden, reluctant celebrity. Grace’s palpable engagement with her work brought a rare insight into the passion that produces many of the magazine’s most memorable shoots. With the witty, forthright voice that has endeared her to her colleagues and peers for more than forty years, Grace now creatively directs the reader through the storied narrative of her life so far. Evoking the time when models had to tote their own bags and props to shoots, Grace describes her early career as a model, working with such world-class photographers as David Bailey and Norman Parkinson, before she stepped behind the camera to become a fashion editor at British Vogue in the late 1960s. Here she began creating the fantasy “travelogues” that would become her trademark. In 1988 she joined American Vogue, where her breathtakingly romantic and imaginative fashion features, a sampling of which appear in this book, have become instant classics. Delightfully underscored by Grace’s pen-and-ink illustrations, Grace will introduce readers to the colorful designers, hairstylists, makeup artists, photographers, models, and celebrities with whom Grace has created her signature images. Grace reveals her private world with equal candor—the car accident that almost derailed her modeling career, her two marriages, the untimely death of her sister, Rosemary, her friendship with Harper’s Bazaar editor-in-chief Liz Tilberis, and her thirty-year romance with Didier Malige. Finally, Grace describes her abiding relationship with Anna Wintour, and the evolving mastery by which she has come to define the height of fashion. “If Wintour is the Pope . . . Coddington is Michelangelo, trying to paint a fresh version of the Sistine Chapel twelve times a year.”—Time

《优雅人生:格雷斯·霍珀和信息时代的创新》不仅仅是一本人物传记类图书，也是一本计算机编程史的记录本。本书不仅将计算机领域的先锋人物之一格雷斯·霍珀——这位伟大女性的人生历程和在计算机编程历史中所扮演的重大角色进行了详尽且客观的描述，同时也对计算机编程的发展和其中重要人物的作用进行了细致的叙述。她对计算机领域的贡献不可磨灭。她发现了计算机程序中的第一个Bug，也创造了计算机世界中最大的Bug——Y2K（千年虫）。她创造了世界上第一种商业编程语言COBOL，并为之后的高级程序设计语言定义了模型。作者为了客观准确地描述计算机发展进程及霍珀的贡献，查阅了数家著名学院或机构的数据库，从而收集到更多有力的证据。 推崇女性独立自强的读者们应该阅读此书，因为格雷斯·霍珀的个人魅力及其魄力是很值得欣赏和学习的；计算机和编程的从业者和爱好者也应该阅读此书，因为其中对计算机领域的发展和编程的记录值得思考和借鉴。
