Today Jones's edgy, compelling designs continue to attract stylish celebrities, including Gwen Stefani, Boy George, Kylie Minogue, Dita von Teese, and Madonna. Jones has also collaborated with a who's-who of legendary designers, including Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier, John Galliano for Dior, and Marc Jacobs. Published to accompany an innovative exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Hats offers an unprecedented view of the world of millinery from ancient Egypt to a Tudor knitted beret and a 1950s Balenciaga hat to Jones's own creations. Drawing on Jones's own archive and the V&A's extensive collection, along with iconic headgear from around the world, this vividly illustrated book celebrates the universal appeal and delight of hat wearing.
