That's My Design : Bridal Capes and Stoles

Love the novel way this is worn again you just never know when you design something how, what or who is going to wear it, these photo's from a recent parade showcasing my marabou stoles and capes for Bridal wear ! so out she marches after a costume drama backstage - but I loved it and thought she looked wonderful. Model wears 1940's Marabou stole in ivory and our lace headband by Folly ! by Julie Fleming (stay tuned for more Folly ! by Julie Fleming styles)

20 years Celebration

That's a long time making hats and accessories - this happened last year 1989 - 2009 but I think it is only just dawning on me. Lucky I still love it.

Making a Hat

Lovely to see the finished product as a stylist sees. Here is a hat I was working away on unsure of who or how it would be warn ....and wham o I get this back from a stylist who used the hat in some editorial. Love what she has done ! This is using a sage green vintage hood that had been hanging around and then a friend bought me this great silk ribbon on a trip to the States and suddenly it all came together.

Exhibition Invite

A very exciting invite arrived in the mail (however I have already seen the show in London in May last year but) if you get the chance you MUST MUST MUST go and see !

New Winter Cloche

A beautiful peach bloom fur felt in the most unusual colour was inspiration enough for this hat which I have just finished. Perfect cloche style for everyday and great with a coat.
