Event: Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones

For some, one of the most exciting things about attending a friend's wedding or heading off to the Grand National is the shopping trip for a hat beforehand.

Not just for a rainy day, nice headwear can transform a person's outfit, with some displaying touches of exquisite detail, care and attention.

Stephen Jones is one of the world's most famous hat designers and he will collaborate with the Victoria and Albert Museum for an exhibition which will make the capital the place to be for headwear lovers the world over.

Hats: An Anthology is a showcase of some of the most impressive and intricate pieces of headgear ever created and visitors will see a range of gorgeous hats in a variety of styles.

Fashionistas will kick themselves if they fail to see this celebration of fancy headwear and to ensure they can enjoy the display over a number of days, they can book a suite at the luxury London hotel the Milestone and sample comfort and class at the end of the day.

By choosing the Kate Starkey Couture package, female guests can look forward to a custom-made suit and two bespoke shirts, as well as champagne and complimentary tickets to the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Many of the pieces going on display will be doing so for the first time, providing stylistas the chance to feast their eyes on previously unseen masterpieces.

Highlights include a look at Prince Albert's top hat and Queen Victoria's bonnet, designs from names such as Mitza Bricard for Christian Dior and Vladzio d'Attainville for Balenciaga.
