Before I start my post today I know I have been away for a long time but its not gonna be a suprise to you all as I was ill again, I had the worst sore throut ever and not just me the whole family, Oğuz, Talya my mom and even my dad ended up in the hospital with a very high fever, we are still recovering from the illness, I cannot put in words of the pain I had for the last two weeks.

I missed you all so much and I know you have missed me too so I hope I dont have to be away from you all for another long time.

My Mad Hatter : Stephen Jones (milliner)

Now this post is about my genious man, I love all his designs which are piece of art not hat but art.

They call him the world's most radical and important milliners of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

He created hats for the catwalk shows of many leading fashion desingers, celebrities, artists and to much to mention the shows.

He was born in Cheshire in 1957 and boarded at Liverpool College. In 1975 he entered High Wycombe school of art as an art foundation student, and in 1976 attended Saint Martin's School of Art.

Awarded B.A. in Fashion design from St. Martin's School of Art. Designed Hat collection for Fiorruci.

Made hats for the 'Theatre Royal' Windsor.

He also has a new signature perfume called Stephen Jones developed with avant-garde brand Comme des Garçons which was launched in September 2008, I was after this perfurme for a very long time myself.

The perfume has been designed as a beautiful hat box style packaging it's no surprise as it is sure to become a collectors item.

And as for the notes of the perfume I think its better to write his words then mine.

"It's a violet that's been hit by a meteorite," and it includes a "synthesized cyber aldehyde."....

The notes to perfurme are: violet leaf, meteorite, cloves, carnation, rose, violet, jasmin, heliotrope, gaïac wood, magma, black cumin, vetiver, amber.

He also designed a hat box for Champagne house Perrier-Jouët, they teamed up to thrill us with a decadent treat: a personalized, limited edition leather hatbox and matching designer hat.Any one of the eight exclusive hatboxes created contains a Christofle silver ice bucket designed for Perrier-Jouët, two hand-blown anemone flutes and a bottle of the French house’s famous Belle Epoque 1999.

He has a exhibition Stephen Jones: The Accent of Fashion which was held MoMu (Antwerp, BE) and for the good news his exhibition is here in Istanbul, you can visit him at Vakko Fashion Center (Vakko Moda Merkezi) Nakkaştepe - İstanbul which I will be visiting myself all alone.

Its too bad I missed him all in flesh as Vakko gave an opeing party where he was the honnor guest, I wish I had made it to that party but we all know what I was doing during that time, yeah in bad getting my medicine with a huge sore throut.

I hope you enjoy todays post and do visit the exhibition as youll find yourself in the Alice of the Wonderland or you can imagaine Dita dancing on the stage with Stephens hats, now that I like.
