Early life and career

Jones (born in Toronto, Canada) studied philosophy at Cambridge[1] and received a master's in illustration from Central Saint Martins in 2010.[2] The daughter of architect Edward Jones, Jones also has a background in modeling.[3] Jones's style montages images with graffiti-style collages. Themes in her work include contemporary beauty, fashion, and femininity.[1] Her process begins with a sketching phase, so her participants can see her ideas, before making and painting props. Jones has said that her favorite part is adding collaged elements in post-production.[1] Jones has worked with brands including Chanel, Victoria Beckham, Louis Vuitton, Target, Kenzo,[2] Holly Fulton,[1] Hoss Intropia,[4] and Smythson.[5] In 2013, The Hospital Club shortlisted Jones among the 30 most influential people in fashion.[6]
