On the Pulse

By Avril Groom

Probably the most extensive exhibition on hats, and one stellar milliner, has just opened at the Palais Galliéra in Paris (until March 16). The in-depth review of Stephen Jones’s career spans early days in London and the influence of 1980s New Romantics clubs like Blitz, a recreation of his workroom focusing on its intricate crafts, his love of French culture, his clients from rock stars to royalty and his creations for couturiers including Mugler, Gaultier, Galliano at Dior and Daniel Roseberry at Schiaparelli that make a Paris exhibition so appropriate.

With just 11 seats available this one-of-a-kind dinner on 17 October at the three-Michelin-starred Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester in London, will be a dinner to remember, pairing dishes from Chef Patron Jean Phillipe Blondet with wines from Chateau Cheval Blanc, including some more than 30 years of age.

The first mega-show of Paris’s spring season is a major change for Dior’s traditionally ladylike style. A soundtrack of raunchy lyrics, an archer modelled on the Grecian huntress goddess Diana and a post-Olympics nod to glam sportswear, with one-shouldered styles recalling the Amazons, made for a street fighting new look that still contrives to be elegant.
