Shes an incredibly elegant and stylish lady, he says in a new video from Hint. It would be a real challenge for me to make a hat for her that she adored.
Jones, who studied at Central Saint Martins, also explains where he received his most useful career preparation.
[M]y real training came from my life on the nightclub scene, he said. I had some extraordinary friends.... They were an incredible influence on me.
