About Fashion in Colour – October release

Join Megan Hess as she takes readers through a world of fashion – in colour. An ode to the incredible use of colour throughout fashion history, Fashion in Colour highlights how fashion designers have used colour to create iconic looks and shape fashion houses around the world. Broken up into chapters by hue (Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Red, Purple, Brown and White), each chapter covers iconic looks, the houses that are synonymous with that colour (think Hermès and orange, or Valentino and red), fashion facts and history and Megan's signature stunning illustrations.

A celebration of how colour shapes fashion, this is Megan Hess's most stunning book to date, with a rainbow of illustrations throughout and vibrant images that bring to life classic fashion favourites from around the world.
