MY NEW OBSESSION: HATS (by STEPHEN JONES)


"A hat makes clothing identifiable, dramatic - and, most importantly, Fashion...it's the cherry on the cake, the dot in the "i", the exclamation mark, the fashion focus. Everyone from showgirls to dictators knows that wearing a hat they will be the centre of attention" Stephen Jones

" Um chapéu torna as roupas identificáveis - E o mais importante, coloca um look na moda... é a cereja no topo do bolo, o ponto no "i", o ponto de exclamação, o "focus" da moda. Todos, desde as raparigas do espectáculo a ditadores sabem que usar um chapéu torna-os o centro das atenções" Stephen Jones

Stephen Jones colaborou com os mais proeminentes designers de moda como Azzzedine Alaïa, jean Paul Gaultier, Commes des Garçons, Vivieene Westwood e John Galliano entre outros. Os seus chapéus tornaram-se sinónimo de uma estética de glamour - o toque artistico de diversos outfits fabulosos e memoráveis.

Antwerp’s MoMu fashion museum opened its doors last September for the latest exhibition for Fall Winter 2010-11, in a retrospective of the 30 year career of British hat designer. From his punk beginnings in the clubland of 80s London to the forefront of Parisian couture, the exhibition is truly a triumphant celebration of Stephen’s larger-than-life persona, reflected in over 300 of his exquisitely delicate objets d’art.

No passado Setembro, o MoMu - museu da moda de Antuérpia, abriu as suas portas a uma exposição retropesctiva da carreira deste designer de chapéus britânico. Desde o seu inicio punk na cena dos clubes londrinos dos anos 80 à linha da frente da alta costura parisiense, esta exibição é uma celebração triunfante da icónica personalidade de Stephen Jones, reflectida em mais de 300 dos seus requintados objectos de arte.

 Quoted John Galliano: "A hat can be a veil or an alibi, a head turner or a friend. It can give clues, or, like this foreword, serve as the introduction to all the wonder that lies within."

Citando John Galliano "  Um chapéu pode ser um véu ou um alibi, um voltar de cabeça ou um amigo. Ele pode dar pistas ou como um prefácio serve como introdução a tudo o que de maravilhoso se encontra dentro".

Stephen Jones took his elegant, experimental and whimsical hats as fashion statement, the ultimate acessory in contemporary fashion.

Stephen Jones fez dos seus elegantes, experimentais e extravagantes chapéus um "statement" da moda, o derradeiro item na moda contemporânea.
