Creative Director at large for American Vogue, Grace Coddington, shares her finely honed travel secrets perfected during her globetrotting fashion career. “I will ask everyone I know who’s been to where I’m travelling for their personal experience,” says Coddington. “I think it’s more important than to read a book, because a book tells you what it wants to tell you rather than the truth.”

In a film commissioned for Smythson Travel and shot at her Hamptons home, Coddington reveals how the brand’s aesthetic—quality and heritage in a fast-paced and impermanent world—guides her desire for comfort and style when on the road and in the air. “I have the whole world to choose from.”
