Milliner
(b. Cheshire, England 1957)
In 1979 Stephen Jones graduated from St. Martin’s School of Art and a year later opened his first millinery salon in Covent Garden, London. An immediate success, he was invited to represent Britain in fashion shows in New York, Montreal, Helsinki and Tokyo, and in 1984 he became the first British milliner to work in Paris designing hats for Jean Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler and Comme des Garcons. Now one of Britain's most established designers, he continues to collaborate with clothing designers including John Galliano as well as creating individual pieces for contemporary icons such as Kylie Minogue and Gwen Stefani.
