The companion publication to the exhibition, Hats: An Anthology
By Stephen Jones & Oriole Cullen, Foreword by John Galliano
Hats: An Anthology offers an unprecedented 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 chapters 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.

It would be nearly impossible to have a bad day if you were wearing the straw boater. In fact, it would be a bit difficult to have a bad day just knowing you owned the straw boater.
And, when did you disallow anonymous comments? I think I'm there.
Mrs B - more fun, that's what we all need.
I have never allowed them. I would spend way too much time hunting for transgressors.
I was going to write about this, but will leave it in your more than capable hands. I love the wash n'go hat!
PD- pish.
I want that red and white straw boater!
