    And then one day I realized I had somehow become pretty recognizable. I found groups of people regularly gathered in front on my appartment building in Chelsea, New York: fashion freaks, gays, straights, young, old a whole mixture. It was a cross section of the neighborhood, all shouting at me from across the street – but always in such a nice way. I felt like the Beatles. Actually, better than the Beatles, because the crowds chasing them in the early days of their fame could get rough. I did once get mobbed, though. Having agreed to do a Q and A at my local cinema, I arrived right as the audience from an earlier showing was leaving. When I rounded the corner, all I could hear was "Grace, Grace. Oh my God, it's her!".
    And they still haven't forgotten. Perhaps it's because I'm frequently on the street or in the subway and not discreetly hidden away in a Town Car, like Anna. It got me thinking, now that my memories had been well and truly raked up by all the questions I'd been asked, that maybe I had a bigger story to share. Which led to the next surprise – here I am doing something I never imagined I'd be old or interesting enough to embark on: writing my memoirs.

ON FASHION: Is fashion art? I think it's sometimes very creative, but I'm not sure I would call it art; that's pushing it a bit. .. In fashion photography, rule number one is to make the picture beautiful and lyrical or provocative and intellectual – but you still have to see the dress.
