An exhibit not to miss

At the Victoria and Albert museum in London, there is currently an amazing exhibit - "Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones". 

http://www.vam.ac.uk/microsites/hats-anthology/

A blurb from the V & A website says it best:
 "Distinct from hat-making, with its large-scale production of standard hat types, millinery focuses on the creation and decoration of elegant, experimental and often whimsical hats. Jones permits us to examine the world of millinery from the inside out, following the life-cycle of a hat from its point of inception in the milliner’s mind to its final incarnation atop the wearer’s head."

If you can't hop a flight to England just yet (you and me both), at least go peruse the website.  There are some wonderful videos, including a video following the making of a hat in the Stephen Jones studio, start to finish.  Must see tv, indeed!
