MEGAN HESS: The Shoe

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

The red sole of a Louboutin, the jeweled buckle of a Manolo Blahnik, the simple perfection of a Chanel slingback, or the incredible finishes on a Jimmy Choo – these are the details that complete an outfit and define timeless style.

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

MEGAN HESS was destined to draw. An initial career in graphic design transcended into art direction for some of the world’s leading advertising agencies and Art Direction for Liberty Department store in London.

Megan’s skills have been deployed by Bergdorf Goodman, New York, to create a signature look for the prestigious department store. Her work has also been commissioned by Harrods of London to create a bespoke bag collection for the iconic British department store.
