Unveiled a few days ago at the Palais Galliera, the exhibition Stephen Jones, Artist Hats<\/em> has completely dazzled us. Tracing the prolific career of the British milliner, a total of 400 pieces, including 170 hats<\/strong>, are presented to us in a cozy setting. From St. Martin’s to Blitz parties, through the greatest fashion shows and workshops, these archives testify to the encounters and inspirations that have shaped Jones’s style and fame over the years, between London and Paris<\/strong>. Let’s take a look back at this exceptional exhibition, which presents the hat as a true work of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
