Stephen Jones, chapeaux d’artiste
As curatorial research assistant, I created the exhibition’s preliminary object selection, which informed the final parcours of the exhibit. The exhibition ran from October 2024 to March 2025.
Stephen Jones was a central fixture of London’s Blitz Club and the fashion that defined the era. A recurring collaborator of Jean Paul Gaultier, Maison Christian Dior and many others, he is the creator of some of fashion’s most infamous hats. This exhibition reflects the love, inspiration and vision shared between Jones and the city of Paris.
