Elegance: The Beauty of French Fashion | Megan Hess
1 post | 1 read
Join internationally renowned fashion illustrator Megan Hess as she explores the timeless beauty and glamour of ten of France's best-loved designers in a stylish celebration of one of the world’s favourite fashion destinations. From the courts of Versailles to the cobbled streets of Paris, French fashion has always been the epitome of elegance. Whether it's Dior's New Look, Yves Saint Laurent's Le Smoking jacket or Chanel's little black dress, the masters of French fashion understand that clothing is more than a craft: it’s an art form. Megan Hess’s love for French style sparked her career in fashion illustration. In these pages, she unspools the threads of ten legendary designers – Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Givenchy, Chloé, Balmain, Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Celine – to discover the origins of haute couture, prêt-à-porter and everything chic. Accompanied by Megan’s exquisite illustrations of current and archival collections, Elegance: The Beauty of French Fashion tells the story of how France’s iconic fashion houses have influenced the very fabric of design.

Lovely book (also my #Booked2019 #Fall #2019release book!! 😊😊😊) by illustrator and author Megan Hess about her top 10 French Fashion houses. I admit to having to google a bunch of these & learnt that I love brands I‘d never heard of (Lanvin Blue, where have you been all my life??) & that I‘m never going to view a handbag as a monetary investment piece. 😂 Still, short & enjoyable and the book itself is a delight of gilded edges & thick pages.

Cinfhen She has some stunning books! They are all gorgeous to peruse 🤩 4y
GlassAsDiamonds @Cinfhen I had completely forgotten I also had her Coco Chanel biography until the gilded edges triggered the memory! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️😂 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Wow — sounds like a lovely book! 4y
GlassAsDiamonds @BarbaraTheBibliophage it really is! Almost like half a book, half a graphic novel... if those had gilt edges and award wining drawings of French fashion! 😊♥️😊 Worth the read I think. 4y
