Rather like the Neolith­ic mono­liths that Michael Stewart’s Stand­ing Ground draws inspi­ra­tion from, his lat­est col­lec­tion was strong, sub­stan­tial and seem­ing­ly tran­scen­dent.

Renowned for his exquis­ite and rig­or­ous crafts­man­ship, the Irish design­er had just become the inau­gur­al recip­i­ent of LVMH’s Savoir-Faire Prize before stag­ing his debut SS25 stand­alone show in Lon­don last September.

Housed by Paris’ Palais Galliera, it is their first exhibition which has honed in on hats since 1984, and what better way to break this standstill than to honor the...
