Share headspace with singular milliner Stephen Jones in 'Dior: Crafting Fashion'

Few accessories garner the attention and awe of a Stephen Jones OBE original. Brimming with panache, his transformative headpieces elevate rooms and runways worldwide, expertly highlighting the wearer without distracting from their best features. Jones is a club kid turned style royalty — a famous tastemaker with an enviable list of friends and collaborators who continues to evolve after three decades. He has partnered with top fashion houses from Vivienne Westwood and Claude Montana through to his current work with Thom Browne, Matières Fécales, and Christian Dior, among many more, and created custom adornments for cinematic and on-stage performances.

Invented for utility then reinvented for expression (arguably by Jones himself), hats hold a remarkable place in sartorial history. In conversation with fashion correspondent José Criales-Unzueta (SCAD B.F.A., fashion, 2018), Jones tells all, tracing a life of admirable chance taking and epic hat making in Dior: Crafting Fashion.

This event is free and open to the public and presented as part of SCADstyle 2026.
