Now She Wants Couture. Dior Couture.

John Galliano probably spent hours in the green house for this collection.

And of course, I love the Stephen Jones hats.
Watch me knock them off for the next Hotnuts.

(Thank you Prancey Girl.)

Hats: An Anthology

Stephen Jones, the renowned milliner, has an anthology of his work coming up at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The show runs from February 24 to May 31.

For the occasion SJ has designed a paper hat. You can download the step-by-step instructions (pdf file) from the V&A website.

Watch the interview & documentary below. It’s brilliant, with behind the scenes in the workrooms and examples of his work done for Boy George, Visage, Princess Diana, Dior, Comme des Garcons, you name them.

Meteorite vs. Violet

The milliner Stephen Jones has launched his first fragrance at Dover Street Market in London. The collaboration with Comme des Garcons will soon be available at CdG boutiques worldwide. The perfume is described as a “meteorite crashing into a violet” or “futuristic but rococo”. It includes notes of violet, violet leaf, ‘synthesized cyber aldehyde’, clove, carnation, rose, jasmine, heliotrope, gaiac wood, magma, black cumin, vetiver and amber.

Sounds like a perfect CdG fragrance to me. Of course, I want it. Thanks.
(Hail Mary!)
