Floral hat and curl fascinators

This is a beautiful hat, if I do say so myself. I find that I put in so much more effort when I am designing for a customer, making sure the colours match perfectly, adding swarovski crystals and using beautiful fabrics rather than sinamay to decorate.

 

I had an order for 2 curl fascinators in the same week, there a nice simple design for someone who doesn’t want anything too complex or heavy to wear.

April Fascinators

This is a Lilly shaped fascinator I made for a lady I met in Next who bought a pair of red shoes. The shoes has a small red flower on the side which I have replicated on the centre of this piece in fabric to make sure the colours matched perfectly.

Both these fascinators were made for the shop Lilys in Pocklington. I had them both made within a week even with the long Easter weekend, I think I work better under pressure.

The Hat Factor, Grazia Magazine 30th March 2012

For the past few weeks I have been designing and making a fascinator for this competition. The challenge was to make something that was striking and had a British/ Olympic theme, this is what I have tried to incorporate in to this design. As well as the theme I wanted my design to be  a bit quirky and so I added a tea cup and saucer, because every Brit loves a good cup of tea. The strawberries are hand made and covered in Swarovski crystals and the butterflies brign a different affect, bobbing around the wearers head.

The day started at 9.30 in London so it has been a long day. I queued outside for 3 hours, 80th in line before I was seen. There were some amazing design and I got talking to a few of the ladies around me who also had impressive designs.

My pitch went well and the designers and editors made me feel relaxed as I spoke about what I’m about and what my inspirations were for the piece. It was so nice to meet Philip Treacy after admiring his work for so long. Now I will just have to wait and see who is the winner and runners up, fingers crossed.
