Coddington is currently working with former Men’s Vogue editor-in-chief Jay Fielden on a proposal for the book. Coddington told the daily paper that she and Fielden are just starting work on the project and that she anticipates that it will be “really fun.” She added that she’s hoping “it’s going to be very rich in fashion history,” beyond just being about her life. The editorial duo - who have previously collaborated on Coddington’s 2002 coffee-table book, Grace: Thirty Years of Fashion at Vogue - are said to be signed with literary agent Elyse Cheney, and the plan is to shop the proposal to publishers this fall.
