Millinery in Action: making a hat in the Stephen Jones workroom

The millinery workroom or atelier is the creative laboratory where hat designs are transformed from ideas into reality. In this video you can see one of Stephen Jones' creations come to life.

In the words of Stephen Jones, a milliners workroom is half Aladdins cave and half artists studio, a place where each hat is carefully coaxed into being.

This video was made for the Victoria & Albert Museum's exhibition 'Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones' 24 February - 31 May 2009.
