Went to the fabulous Stephen Jones party last night, hosted by Bumble and Bumble (pics below). For those who don't know Stephen is the great London hat designer, the greatest milliner of the late 20th century and going very strong in the early 21st. I've known Stephen since 1985 (!) when we were introduced by Roberta Wagner. A Stephen Jones gold lame fez that I purchased from Susanne Bartsch in 1983 when she had her shop on Thompson Street is currently on view at the Museum at FIT in the Exoticism theme permanent collection installation. I donated the hat along with several other Stephen Jones hats including a rare group that he designed for Commes des Garcons. Will try to get a photo of the fez tommorow night when I am at FIT for the opening of the Madame Gres exhibition. Visit Stephen's website:
