Comme Des Garcons Stephen Jones Wisteria Hysteria

Stephen Jones Wisteria Hysteria, crafted with perfumer Nathalie Feisthauer, is described as “clean but seductive, familiar yet strange, futuristic and rococo” all at once. The bottle comes swathed in elegant white milliner’s veiling.

The relationship between hat-maker Stephen Jones OBE and founder/designer Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons goes back three decades, when they used to collaborate on hats for her collections and runway shows. Now the tables have turned with Comme des Garçons producing Stephen Jones’ fragrance concepts.

From Stephen Jones OBE
“Millinery, I think, is closer to fragrance than fashion. A hat, like a perfume, is an evocation of something nebulous, ephemeral, and other-wordly” – Stephen Jones
