Early life and career[edit]

Miley Cyrus: Tongue Tied, directed by Jones in her characteristic style[2]

Jones (born 3 December 1983, Toronto, Canada) studied philosophy at Cambridge[3] and received a master's in illustration from Central Saint Martins in 2010.[1] The daughter of architect Edward Jones, Jones also has a background in modeling.[4] Jones's style montages images with graffiti-style collages. Themes in her work include contemporary beauty, fashion, and femininity.[3] 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.[3] Jones has worked with brands including Chanel, Victoria Beckham, Louis Vuitton, Target, Kenzo,[1] Holly Fulton,[3] Hoss Intropia,[5] and Smythson.[6] In 2013, The Hospital Club shortlisted Jones among the 30 most influential people in fashion.[7]
