From Suzy Menkes' coiffed 'do and a decadently robed André Leon Talley to Anna Wintour and her iconic bob, the fashion front row is straight out of a comedy coloring book, thanks to Ms. Coddington and her quirky artistic talent.

While we anxiously await the November release of Grace Coddington's memoir entitled Grace, here is a sneak peek of some of Coddington's signature sketches that are showcased in the book.

Perched next to Vogue editrix Wintour, Grace Coddington is a front-row fixture herself, wild red hair flying, clad in all black, she is known for sitting with pen and paper sketching looks as they come down the runway.

Head to Vogue.com and then make sure to nab a copy of the memoir in November for more hilarious drawings of Coddington's life, from childhood memories to her career as a model and time as a fashion editor.
