    Melanie Ward

    Style icon Melanie Ward has influenced the fashion industry for the past two decades with her pioneering vision and extraordinary talent. Born in London, England, Melanie graduated from London University with a Bachelor of Arts Honors degree. She subsequently studied fashion at Saint Martin’s School of Art, where she was awarded “Best Daywear” for her collection. Melanie was the first stylist to be honored with a solo exhibition of her work by the prestigious Festival de la Mode in the early 1990s. She was voted Surface Magazine’s first-ever fashion and style icon in a new category of their Annual Avant Guardian Awards in 2008. Melanie is incredibly honored to have been chosen as The Gentlewoman’s first-ever female face for their launch issue cover and feature #0 in 2009. Melanie was first propelled into the fashion spotlight in the early 1990s when she originated the “Grunge Movement” along with photographers David Sims and Corinne Day. With her revolutionary and industry-challenging aesthetic, Ward’s styling was marked by an irreverent approach to the status quo, shunning mainstream fashion for thrift, customized, and made clothing. She is also credited with being one of the catalysts in launching the career of Kate Moss, with whom she began working when Moss was fifteen. 1995 Melanie moved to the United States when Liz Tilberis invited her to bring a contemporary edge to the newly restyled Harper’s Bazaar. Tillberis was named Ward Senior Fashion Editor of the magazine – a post she held for fourteen years. Melanie has longstanding creative relationships with the most legendary and progressive photographic talents from the world of fashion and art, including Inez van Lansweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, David Sims, Mario Sorrenti, Glen Luchford, Craig McDean, Steven Klein, Mert and Marcus, Alasdair McLellan, Zoe Ghertner, Willy Vanderperre, to name a few. However, Melanie’s engagement with fashion culture has always extended beyond image-making and is her most significant.
