The Royal Ascot Fashion Show would not be complete without a display of
headwear and Stephen Jones, the official milliner for Royal Ascot in its
tercentary year doesn’t disappoint.
The show featured a mixture of his SS11 and AW10 collection.
SS11 titled ‘‘Drifting and Dreaming’ was partly inspired by
the work of mid century British (from Derby) painter Marion Adams. Above is his hat named Spirits Drifting. (yellow blouse by Jasper Conran)
Whilst creating this collection he thought of the composition of a painting:
