This collection of dresses from the inimitable Megan Hess celebrates fashions finest moments and takes the reader on a decadent romp through fashion history... from the haute to the hot. From the elegant, such as Audrey Hepburns simple black shift or Princess Dis neverending wedding gown, to the quirky, such as Bjorks Swan Dress or the Liz Hurley safetypin dress, to the simply unforgettable such as Marilyns famous moment in white in The Seven Year Itch or Madonnas perilouslooking conical bustierre. Megan Hess has spent her career exploring and illustrating fashion. And while fashion is an everchanging, everinspiring beast, there are certain dresses that capture a moment in history, the spirit of a generation and the indefinable energy of a fashion icon. In this book, Hess has collected the most iconic dresses throughout fashion history, and explores why they continue to resonate with audiences and viewers in decades to come. Interspersed with historical anecdotes, famous quotes and scenesetting landscape illustrations which enlighten the reader of the social themes surrounding the fashion moment in question, this book is an elegant and immersive introduction to the moments that shaped fashion and how fashion, in turn, shaped our lives.
