Stephen Jones winning the Outstanding Achievement Award at the British Fashion Awards makes me happy.
When I was very much younger, and people would ask me what I wanted to be when I was grew up, I had no fucking idea at all (oh how much has changed...) and so I would reply with the first thing that came into my head, "a hat maker."
Then one day someone told me that was a milliner and I thought, wow it's actually a proper job with a proper name and these days I look at this man & and my seven year old self resurfaces and I want to be a hat maker (milliner...) all over again.

as much for his wonderful hats as for his friendship with Isabella Blow
who is the greatest of them all.
