"Picture the moment, in the run-up to a Christian Dior haute
couture show. John Galliano is working silently in the Paris studio
with his friend and ally, the master milliner Stephen Jones. The
designer is looking at the arc of a silhouette, the drape of a
skirt and the tilt of a hat: 'I often work through a mirror for
most of my decisions and I always see Stephen's reflection,' says
Galliano. 'He is reading my every nuance. He is studying my face. I
don't need to say anything - he can read my mind'." - From the
essay by Suzy Menkes. Stephen Jones is one of the world's most
talented and distinguished milliners. This exquisitely illustrated
monograph is the first to examine his illustrious career and famous
collaborations. Including photographs from private collections and
museums, the book focuses on a variety of aspects of his work, from
his collaborations with Boy George, John Galliano and Thierry
Mugler to his work with photographers Bruce Weber and Nick Knight.
Recent collections include: Marc Jacobs, L'Wren Scott, Giles
Deacon, Gareth Pugh, Loewe, Christian Dior Haute Couture,
Pret-a-porter, Ski & Baby collections, John Galliano, Comme des
Garcons. His recent commissions include: Dita von Teese/Crazy
Horse, Bryan Adams, Immodesty Blaize, Take That, Sex and the City
2, Perrier Jouet, Printemps, Ascot, Disneyland, Kylie Minogue, Kate
Moss/Met Ball. "With her moulded felt cloche shadowing an eye and
pinned with a tremblant diamond cow-parsley sprig, Nadja Auermann,
slinking down the stairs of a crumbling Hotel Particulier in Paris
for the John Galliano show, defined the fashion moment. Once again,
Stephen Jones, millinery magician, had summoned up the spirit of
the day. Jones is a deft conjurer, who can draw whimsy from a hat.
Steeped in couture lore and craft, he nevertheless propels his art
into the future with his ceaseless invention and thistledown touch.
His genius is to enhance the mystery, allure, wit of the wearer -
although a Jones hat might be a dramatic statement in itself, it
will never overpower." - Hamish Bowles, Style Editor, Vogue USA
