CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

A happy face on a sad world
"Hats are a great antidote to what's going on. It's really their purpose to put a happy face on a sad world."
"That's the thing about hats. They're extravagant and full of humour and allow for a sense of costume, but in a lighthearted way."
Hats by Stephen Jones - milliner to the Royals and to the stars; friend of Boy George and John Galliano; the man who taught Philip Treacy all he knows - who celebrates his 60th birthday today.
A genius.
Stephen Jones OBE (born 31st May 1957)

I could see me wearing the flat beige hat; something mysterious about the veil...
