STEPHEN JONES exhibition at the V&A

DateTuesday, March 17, 2009 at 1:16 PM

Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones

is a collaboration between the V&A and one of the world’s foremost hat designers, Stephen Jones. This exhibition in the Porter Gallerywill display more than 300 hats chosen with the expert eye of a milliner. On display will be hats ranging from an Egyptian Anubis mask dating from 600BC to a 1950s Balenciaga hat and couture creations by Jones and his contemporaries. To show the universal appeal and delight of wearing hats, Jones has included a wide variety of styles including top hats, berets and a child’s plastic tiara.

Displayed in a magical, box-hedged, Baroque garden setting, Hats An Anthology will be the V&A’s first exhibition devoted to hats, with many pieces from its extensive hat collection on display for the first time.For more information visit the V&A website.

See Vogue TV's video clip from the party at You Tube. The exhibition runs from the 24th of February until the 31st of May 2009.
