Stephen Jones - Less chat, more hat

To accompany its new exhibition, Hats: an anthology by Stephen Jones the V&A  has launched two very different films about the hat, both produced by Cultureshock Media. The first is an 8-minute film about Stephen Jones, the celebrated milliner who curated the show. Filmed in Jones’s Covent Garden studio and workshop this atmospheric film examines the methods and motivation of the man who has emerged as the world’s leading hat designer since he burst on the New Romantic club scene nearly 30 years ago. And to celebrate the show’s opening Cultureshock worked alongside the V&A’s own digital film team to produce a buzzy five minute ‘Vox Pop’ film of the glittering launch party in February. Among the hat-lovers interviewed in the film are comedian David Walliams, singer Roisin Murphy, model Erin O’Connor and designers Philip Treacy, Jasper Conran and Giles Deacon.
