Item important in the story…

Just I started reading ” L’Amant ” by Marguerite Duras again…
Book has been translated in Japanese.

In the story, I couldn’t ignore,,, she is talking about ” Hat ” is very

significant in her memory.

” I got a hat, there is no farewell with it. That can re-create myself….
I have a pair of shoes, I felt the same to those, but my hat is far more special….”

I just translated in my way from Japanese translation to English… but Sometime, I feel hat has exactly same way for my style.

I hope I can serve those special hat to the clients all the time.

It has been translated to 43 languages and was awarded the 1984 Prix Goncourt. (from Google search)

 

P.21 talking about her outfit especially about “Hat” 

 

Show off your style!!

When I design clothes, I always finish off with the hat/headpiece 🙂

I have to try each photoshoot with a different look, but I have used the same outfits for different occasions.

You know one outfit can transform the completely different look with the hat!!

These are the example of how the hats and styling make different!!
With fantastic model Mhairi Waddell (15), she can show the same outfit with different HATs to show off!!

Fascinator isn’t familiar name!!

Fascinator…

When I was studying millinery in London, we were learning

millinery skills from our teacher who used to work for

traditional milliner.

We have never learnt the word ” Fascinator! ”

We learnt ladies hats – Cocktail, Toque, Turban, Trilby, Couture hat, Cloche, Headpiece, Headdress, Comb, Hair accessories,  etc.

Since, I started living in Scotland in 2012. Already the word fascinator was

taking the millinery world over…

Since people are using fascinator as hair accessories and extending to hats, I designed and made this

” Mother of Bride/Groom Fascinator “

Fuchsia Mother of Bride/Groom Hat

I have been actively making new hats recently….non stop!!

This time, beautiful flower “Fuchsia”. Friend from Venezuela said, it is called “Queen’s earrings “!

I love the contrast and bold colour.
