We live through the eyes of Stephen Jones as he opens up the doors to Dior&rsquo;s archival hat treasuries with a new exhibition 'Dior Hats, The Art of Hats from Christian Dior to Stephen Jones', curated by Florence M&uuml;ller and with artistic direction by Jones himself.

In commemoration of Jones&rsquo; 240-page book that celebrates over 70 years of the House&rsquo;s heritage in millinery, these hats will be on display at the Christian Dior Museum in Granville, Normandy, France.

Jones is recognised as one of the most eminent milliners in the industry and was appointed as the artistic director for Dior&rsquo;s hats in 1996. Having worked alongside prominent designers of the maison like Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferr&eacute;, and Christian Dior himself, to creating his own works with John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri, the British milliner unearths an exhibition of hats as a tribute to the significance of millinery to the House. He describes these hats as an expression of one&rsquo;s self and an embodiment of Christian Dior&rsquo;s vision of sublime femininity.&nbsp;

&ldquo;A hat is essential to any outfit. It completes it. In a way, a hat is the best way to express your personality.&rdquo; - Christian Dior

Accompanying the archival hat displays are Haute Couture dresses, emphasising the quintessential role of the accessory in amplifying one&rsquo;s look, as well as sketches and documentation of the design processes. The retrospective perspective celebrates Dior&rsquo;s innovative spirit and creative passion for the past 70 years, establishing its status of elegance.
Here are some of the most iconic headdresses in the archival treasury:

The exhibition is happening from May 14 to October 30, 2022, at the Christian Dior Museum in Granville, Normandy, France.
