Caroline Rush, CEO of the British Fashion Council, commented: “Season on season, the Headonism initiative just keeps getting stronger as they continue to take the world of hat making by storm – and it’s with great thanks to Stephen and all the talented designers involved. This September, I’m really looking forward to seeing the S/S14 collections from this diverse group who together work so well, yet as individuals have completely unique design aesthetics”.
Stephen Jones, milliner and curator of Headonism commented: “The Headonism milliners are simply the best in the world. It’s fantastic to work with them and a real pleasure to offer my guidance to such an exciting group of creatives.”
Mentored by renowned milliner Stephen Jones, Headonism launched in 2009, during the BFC’s 25 year celebrations by Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. The initiative offers various showcasing opportunities with bi-annual installations at London Fashion Week.
