Hamish Bowles attended Britain's most famous College for everything fashion, the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. He has always had a knack for the history of fashion and the relation between fashion and art. Therefore he is an expert and collector of Haute Couture pieces from different centuries and knows about their history and production like none other. After a brief stint at London’s Harpers & Queen magazine, he started his path at Vogue over 20 years ago in 1992. Since then he has worked his way up from Style Editor to European Editor at Large and eventually became International Editor at Large.

His extensive knowledge on fashion and art has even landed him the job as creative consultant at New York's No. 1 museum, the MOMA! There he was responsible for some incredible exhibitions like the critically acclaimed “Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years—Selections from the John F. Kennedy Library Museum” or “Balenciaga: Spanish Master”, both displaying completely different angles on fashion.
