About the Author:

Beginning her international career as creative director of Liberty department store in London, she is the official illustrator for Bloomingdale’s and completed the cover artwork for all of Sex and The City author Candace Bushnell’s books. Megan has illustrated for some of the world’s top fashion designers, publications, department stores, and best-selling books. Her clients include Vanity Fair, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Tiffany & Co., Fendi, Dior, Guerlain, Rolex, Bulgari, HBO, Mercedez-Benz, Italian Vogue, Bergdorf Goodman, Time, the New York Times, The Ritz Hotel, and Disney. Megan’s private artwork has been commissioned from Tokyo to New York and all around the world, and most recently for a private commission for Michelle Obama.

Review:

“...celebrates the whimsical world of the fashionably chic by imagining their dwellings and interior design aesthetic...Megan Hess’s greatest strength as an artist is not only her sense of humor and whimsy but her quiet and assured optimism that an intensely colored life is beautiful if we allow ourselves to see it that way.” ~Ninatchka

"Ms. Hess has injected a fair amount of wit and insight into the subject as well as quite a bit of tongue in cheek humor. She has managed to extract quotes by many of those already in the rarefied side of the business of fashion as well as authors and other notable skirting the edge...Put it on your coffee table while your summer guests await that freshly squeezed lemonade. It's tart but sweet." ~New York Journal of Books
