MEGAN HESS: The Bag

A piece of fashion is so much more than an object. To the designer who creates it, the muse who inspires it, the fashion lover who lusts after it, or the star who defines it, that piece is part of a story.

From the Hermes Birkin to the Chanel Classic, the Lady Dior to the Louis Vuitton Keepall, the Valentino Rockstud to the Fendi Baguette, these iconic designs are not just the perfect way to carry your lipstick and book – and complete your outfit. They are works of art and craftsmanship.

Megan Hess: The Bag is the next in the Ultimate Fashion Wardrobe series, filled with fascinating information and stunning illustrations and packaged up in a beautiful hardback: the ideal accessory for any fashion life.

Megan Hess was destined to draw.
An initial career in graphic design evolved into art direction for some of the world’s leading design agencies. In 2008 Hess illustrated the New York Times number one selling book Sex And The City - written by Candace Bushnell. She has since illustrated portraits for Vanity Fair and Time, created iconic accessories for Henri Bendel and illustrated the windows of Bergdorf Goodman in New York.
Hess’s signature style can also be found on her bespoke range of silk scarves, cushions and Limited Edition prints sold around the globe.
She has written and illustrated 3 best selling books: Fashion House, The Dress and Coco Chanel.
Her renowned clients include: Prada, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., Yves Saint Laurent, Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Fendi, Ladurée, Givenchy, Wedgwood, Salvatore Ferragamo, Michelle Obama, Cartier, Laduree, Montblanc, Balenciaga, Guerlain, Paspaley, Tag Heuer, and Disney.
Megan illustrates all her work with a custom bespoke Montblanc pen that she affectionally calls ‘Monty’.
