Top Hat

I have been wanting to go and see the Stephen Jones exhibition at the V&A for a while and when I finally got there today I wasn't disappointed. So many amazing creations in all shapes and styles. From basket to plastic, feathers to silk - there are elegant and pretty ones while others are more theatrical and experimental. A small atelier had been made in the centre of the room which was full of hat moulds, threads, beautiful silk flowers...a real Aladdin's cave. I bought the book (shown above) for my Mum who works as a milliner.

I love this multi-coloured knit one for Christian Dior.



BONUS: I also found these lovely porcelain buttons in the shop!
