‘As soon as I feel like somebody has worked me out, I want to switch it up’: set designer Shona Heath on staying authentic in a digital age

Shona Heath photographed by Tim Gutt.

From fibreglass taxi cabs mounted on a London storefront to a plane made from bread for Hermès, Shona Heath's fantastical set and production designs are defined by a surrealist sensibility that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.

A fashion graduate from the University of Brighton, Heath began her career in costume design before branching out into window displays and set design for fashion designers. This shift led to her long-term collaboration with British fashion photographer Tim Walker, with her weird and wonderful creations gracing the pages of leading publications and shaping exhibitions, runways and campaigns for fashion powerhouses like Louis Vuitton, Prada, Dior, and Miu Miu.
