A collection of beautifully illustrated interiors celebrating fashionable people in their inspirational, eclectic, fun, and always extraordinary habitats. Within the sumptuously illustrated pages of this book, you will find every extravagant interior you've ever dreamed of. Fancy a Manhattan suite? A grand estate of one of London's men-about-town? A vintage Parisian loft? Get the look of the Valentino room, complete with red velvet drapes and hints of gold, the French teahouse, with pistachio-colored walls and gilded mirrors, or the distinguished lobby, quietly confident in purple hues with a black chandelier. Fashion House celebrates some of the most decadent and indulgent interiors from around the world and the icons, past and present, who inhabit them. Discover the type of furniture they choose, the style of clothes they wear, and how they style a space. Learn the benefits of the eclectic chair, the portrait piece, the striking rug, the signature wallpaper, and the resident pet. Combining her love of fashion and interior design with her signature illustrations, Megan Hess has created a book of undeniable style sure to be adored.
"...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 "This whimsical collection of beautifully illustrated interiors is a departure from the standard design coffee table book . . . Fashion House celebrates both designers and style, and helps us look at the interior design process in a new way ." - ARRAY MAGAZINE
