Coddington has defied conventional notions of hair beauty for more
than 50 years- first, as a model, and later as one of the most influential(and recognizable) fashion editors in the world.
It did occur to me that Coddington was simply in love with the real-sized cameraman
because he was an exotic prop, like folkloric looking people in Peru, or the python to Nastassja Kinski in Richard Avedon's photo.
