About this Book

Published to accompany a V+A exhibition, Hats- An Anthology offers an unprecendented view of the world of millinery, drawing on the V+A's extensive collection of hats, Stephen Jones's own archive and iconic headgear from around the globe. Beautifully illustrated chapers examine the inspiration behind the creation of hats, the history of their construction, the lure of the hat shop and finally the etiquette and occasion of hat wearing for the client.
