Stephen Jones, ‘A Rainbow in Curved Air’ – London Fashion Week

Stephen Jones presents his new collection at London Fashion Week. A British milliner, celebrated as one of the most imaginative and influential hat designers of our time, he studied at Saint Martin’s School of Art and opened his first millinery salon in London in 1980. Jones became a key figure of the New Romantic scene, creating avant-garde hats for artists, musicians, and fashion houses alike. He has collaborated with Dior, Vivienne Westwood, Comme des Garçons, and many other leading designers. His sculptural, whimsical creations are exhibited worldwide, cementing his role in making millinery a modern art form.

The designer collaborated with artist Khalid Benkaroum to create an abstract multi coloured print which feature on JonesBoy hats and caps.

The poetic press release read: “The sunset hinted at an ombré chiffon scarf with sparkling zodiac stars and a rising moon crescent tiara. Dressing up for the evening? A tiara frames the face in topaz beads. An iris flower of stiffened chiffon and tulle; cascades in shades of amethyst.” A delight!
