Working with radical hat designer, Stephen Jones, the V&A presents an ‘anthology of hats’.
Drawn from V&A and international collections, and ranging in style and period from a 17th-century Puritan’s hat to a 1950s Balenciaga couture piece, to hats by Jones and his contemporaries including to the latest creations by young milliners such as Noel Stewart, the exhibition investigates the cultural and historic importance of millinery.
The exhibition is arranged in four main themes – Inspiration looks at the myriad of sources including historicism, exoticism and the natural world; Creation explores the techniques, materials and processes; The Salon focuses on the buying and selling of hats and the millinery shop; and The Clients which examines the wearing and etiquette of hats and features headgear worn by well known clients of some of the world’s top milliners including Audrey Hepburn, Anna Piaggi, Dita von Teese.

This summer Shu Uemura loves pink, so the Japanese make-up brand is bringing us its new Pink Collection.
This features Rouge Unlimited and Gloss Unlimited in nine tones, made with an innovative pink pigment that creates the purest of pink shades.
The new Topshop collection designed by Kate Moss. The line continues to reflect the model’s bohemian, chic style – and she stars in this fantastic ad campaign photographed by Mert and Marcus.
The collection ranges from a folk inspiration to tea dresses, snakeskin print trousers and little black dresses studded with stones. The aim was to infuse the line with a rock n roll feel, and to continue including fantastic prints from Liberty´s vintage archives, which were reinterpreted by Kate herself.
This season´s iconic dresses include Lilabell, which was created in honour of Kates daughter, and camisole dresses, her personal favourite. Take a look at the collection…
