Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones

Some people say hats are for bad hair days. The Cancer Council says they're for sun protection. Stephen Jones says they complete your outfit, express a statement and transform you into a character.Hats: An Anthology of Stephen Jones is a currently exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art, showcasing modern and historical hats and headpieces from the London's Victoria and Albert Museum and Stephen Jones's own collection. Here you can see a small selection from the exhibition. Jones's creations are such amazing work. I love how he has such a "British heart". He draws inspiration from the London underground, British passport, the Wimbledon tennis court, the uniform of the guards of the Buckingham Palace. He has the ability to put a paintbrush on a woman's head without making her look ridiculous. His work is so exciting and fun and has changed my perception of hats. Even though I absolutely enjoyed this exhibition, I still think they are missing one thing - a trencher hat!!A couple of hats featured in the exhibition:

John Galliano 2009 Spring RTW

Comme des Garcon 2007 Fall RTW

Sarah-Jessica Parker at Sex and the City Movie premiere

Where the outfit would not be completely without these exquisite headpieces:

Jean Paul Gaultier 2010 Spring Couture

Christian Dior 2010 Spring Couture

Marc Jacobs 2007 Spring RTW

Burberry Prorsum 2009 Spring RTW
(Has a fisherman hat ever looked that chic?!)

Chanel 2009 Spring Couture

Alexander McQueen 2008 Spring RTW

I always think fashion should be about fun. So go wear the biggest bow you have, put a bird on your head, wear colours that are not supposed to go together. Be adventurous. Go big. Have fun. Stand out.

And how can a weekend be complete without baking?
