A charming chronicle of the life of London milliner Stephen Jones and her beautifully crafted hats that captured the mood of every fashion “moment” from the electric 1980s to today. In 1980, everyone from rock stars to royalty, from Boy George to Diana, Princess of Wales, identified Stephen Jones as the milliner who would help them make headlines. Jones’ creative collaborations over the years have included partnerships with designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Rei Kawakubo, John Galliano and Thom Browne. Stephen Jones: Memories, written by Susannah Frankel, one of fashion’s most informed voices, chronicles Jones’ rise from the London street fashion scene to the international catwalk, showcasing the magic, allure and spirit of his iconic designs. It also draws on behind-the-scenes images, preparatory illustrations, and personal and ephemeral photographs to tell the story of one of the most influential milliners of our time. Beautifully designed and engaging, this delightful volume traces the myriad ways in which, from runway shows to racetracks, from pop proms to royal garden parties, Stephen Jones’ millinery adds the exclamation point to every fashion statement.
