Stephen Jones/Oriole Cullen/Michael Howells
Coinciding with the opening of the exhibition 'Hats: An Anthology' at London's Victoria and Albert museum, SHOWstudio unveils its own tribute to the enduring genius of millinery maestro Stephen Jones. Inspired by Cecil Beaton's 1971 exhibition 'Fashion: An Anthology', which formed the basis of the V&A's enviable contemporary costume collection, Jones' exhibition pays homage to Beaton whilst exploring his own milieu in mind-boggling detail. Created in collaboration with the Victoria and Albert museum, this project showcases the creation of the exhibition literally from the drawing board, exploring its inspiration with the key players.
