Rising star: Quentin Jones

So, Quentin Jones: describe her in a word. Are you joking? We need three at least: she's a painter, illustrator and filmmaker working in fashion – and she's already made a short film for Chanel. It doesn't get more high-end than that. That all? There is also the fact she has a background in modelling and, for good measure, a degree in philosophy from Cambridge. Swot. So what's she up to at the moment? Oh, nothing too arduous. She's just finished making a film about Victoria Beckham for AnOther Magazine , which has led to her working on a project to launch Beckham's new clothing range. A "very exciting" project with Chanel for 2012 is still under wraps. What's her USP? Wit, irreverence and a cool way with cutting things up: she's big on collage, montage, cats and Disney references – and she has a sharp take on the female form. She says: "I enjoy the visual surprises that come up while I'm working; the accidents that happen when you're least expecting it." We say: Fashion needs a makeover – and preferably one that involves Mickey Mouse ears. quentinjones.info
