When I first saw this gorgeous picture my first thought was a post titled 'Gossip'....umm but I don't have any.
So what I'm actually posting about is vintage or vintage inspired hats for Winter. I've never really worn hats other than to the races, but in going through all my favorite classic fashion pictures it's reminded me that back in the days of glamour hats were an important everyday accessory and were the perfect accessory to top off an outfit. It's provided me with a bit of inspiration for styling the photoshoot for my Winter collection and I also plan to add some cute millinery to my wardrobe this Winter. Below are a few of the many styles I have on my favorites list, I found most of these on Etsy (both vintage and handmade) but they are all from the US, I'm all for supporting Aussie designers so I would just love to find an Australian designer to buy from, does anyone know of one with a great array of vintage inspired headpieces?
Love this image...gorgeous hats! Ax

Such a beautiful photograph.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Aussie milliner is Phillip Rhodes, he's Melbourne-based and does very feminine, vintage-inspired headpieces. I have worn his hats/fascinators to Melbourne Cup for four years running:

With your talents, perhaps you should branch out into millinery?

unebellefille - Philip Rhodes collections look divine for races/occasion wear, saved to my favorites, thankyou!
ReplyDeleteI would love to branch out into millinery, it's something I've been thinking about off and on, I just need to find the time to learn the skills (it could be on the radar for inclusion in next Spring's collection)
Dirty hair studio - I find the top middle hat intriguing as well, if only I could find something like it!
Esme and the Laneway & PB - I will post my findings from my search in Australia, and I'd love to see yours too!
Great blog! I am excited to follow.
