I will HAVE to see this...

I've been waiting for this exhibition for months and now here it is!!

Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones is a collaboration between the V&A and one of the world’s foremost hat designers, Stephen Jones.

Wash and Go Hat by Stephen Jones

It sounds amazing. Displayed in a magical, box-hedged, Baroque garden setting, Hats An Anthology will be the V&A’s first exhibition devoted to hats, with many pieces from its extensive hat collection on display for the first time. It will show the history of hats from many different era's. Now I've always been a Philip Treacy fan as opposed to a Stephen Jones but this exhibition will show both of there beautiful work.

Parkinson Hat by Philip Treacy

Hats are what got me into the fashion world away from my jewellery and I do find them so much more exciting. I think its the space around the head its offers so much. You could do anything and a lot of milliners do. Everyone can wear a hat. Everyone understands hats. But there are some special hats that these guys create that are just magical.

The fantastic Isabella Blow discovered Philip Treacy, and at her memorial Anna Wintour said about her, "Yet Issy never forgot what was really important. That at its best, fashion is about discovery and inspiration and creating magic. And that’s why none of us will ever forget her."

That's why I love fashion, Its offers a world of discovery and wonder. It creates colours and even in the depth of winter you can open Vogue and be delighted by what they are showing you. The colours, the fabrics the vision. That's what makes me love hats. They take on a life of there own and allow the wearer to create there own little bit of magic however small.

Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones is on 24th February through till 31st May
