STEPHEN JONES

Stephen Jones graduated in St Martins College and soon opened his millinery salon in Covent Garden in 1980. Jones' creations are made of a bold use of colour and unconventional fabrics, inspired by his experiences of the punk and New Romantic scene in 1970s London. Since the early 80s he has collaborated with designers from Vivienne Westwood and Claude Montana through to his current work with Thom Browne and Christian Dior, Jones' hats have been an integral component in some of the most memorable runway spectacles of the past quarter century. He is considered one of the most esteemed names in headwear.
