Fashion illustrator Megan Hess’ new book: The Dress

We are big fans of Australian fashion illustrator Megan Hess here and I have two of her prints on my office wall. So glamorous and gorgeous! After the success of last year’s book, Fashion House, which featured stylish women in equally stylish interiors, this book focuses on the frocks. The Dress: 100 Iconic Moments in Fashion sounds just up my street!

The book is a celebration of iconic dresses throughout fashion history and details a select few of Megan’s favourites that have been memorable for one reason or another. Some illustrations have been sketched from the front line at fashion shows where the audience gasped with excitement as the most brilliant dresses sashayed down the runway. Megan has illustrated the dresses on all kinds of women throughout history from the world’s top supermodels to Academy Award-winning actresses as well as the First Lady of the United States.

It was a night of glamour for the Block Sky High contestants and judges last night, but the biggest winner of the night was the show’s host, Scott Cam, who went home with the best presenter gong and the coveted Gold Logie.

Those following the frocks (that’d be me) would have noticed Shaynna Blaze and twins Alisa and Lysandra’s dresses, not to mention judges Neale Whitaker and Darren Palmer looking very sharp. My favourite Blockhead outfit was definitely Shelley Craft’s. I thought she looked lovely.
