Small or large, sober or colorful, simple or whimsical: hats are an art form in their own right, and Stephen Jones has mastered them to perfection. The Palais Galliera is dedicating an unprecedented retrospective exhibition to the British milliner, on view from October 19, 2024 to March 16, 2025.

The Stephen Jones, chapeaux d'artistes! exhibition brings together nearly 400 works, including more than 170 hats, 40 complete silhouettes and a variety of drawings, photos and videos, in a journey that traces the rich career of Stephen Jones. These pieces reveal the milliner's creative process, his inspirations, collaborations and encounters, the importance of Paris in his work, and the place of hats and their designers in the world of contemporary fashion.

Graduating from London's prestigious Saint Martin's School in 1979, Stephen Jones quickly developed a passion for the art of the hat. In just a few years, he established himself as a leading designer in his field, counting a certain Princess Diana among his clients.

Jean-Paul Gaultier Vivienne Westwood, Thierry Mugler, Marc Jacobs, Comme des Garçons: the milliner is multiplying his collaborations. He has a special relationship with Dior, with whom he has worked for 30 years. Stephen Jones' success is unquestionable, and his audacious universe has strongly influenced today's fashion world.

Lovers of fashion and haute couture, don't miss this special exhibition at the Palais Galliera, dedicated to an artist and an accessory that deserve to be highlighted far more often.
