11. Before she was the creative director of Vogue, Grace Coddington was a hair model for Vidal Sassoon. Vidal Sassoon passed away on Wednesday at age 84. In memory of the late Sassoon, Grace Coddington talked about the pioneer of the go-to haircut of the 1960s. Vidal Sassoon debuted his famous five point hair cut on Coddington, who acted as his model and made many trips to the London salon before the two were able to get the cut just right. The low maintenance cut gave a certain freedom to Coddington and others who received the five point by Sassoon.
Coddington told NY Mag, "it was a cut so precisely worked out that, no matter which way you shook it, there was never a sort of long piece hanging over the wrong side."
