PPQ SS09
Crazy, over-the-top headwear reigned supreme at London Fashion Week back in September, and now it's your turn to make a bold head statement with your spring headwear.
Printed head scarves, pompom hats, Pac-man headgear tributes and over-embellished headbands all make the grade, but the question is- will you be brave enough to wear them?
Fascinators too suddenly became all the rage again last year, when Sarah Jessica Parker wore an extravagant Philip Tracey hat to the premiere of Sex And The City: The Movie, and so we had a summer of feathers and netting being in fashion once more.
Milliner Stephen Jones is easily the most respected creator of some of the most unique hats out there on the market. Having created headwear for Giles' SS09 line this season, he also counts Galliano and Dior as his respective clients too.
His sort of creative and OTT headwear has become something of a cult favourite among designers and celebrities, so much so in fact that the high-street has now taken his creations as inspiration for their own lines.
We have to say we're loving any form of crazy hair embellishments at the moment, and with the new Autumn lines due to hit the catwalk later this month, we say get in on this trend early!
Here's some high-street goodies for you to play with this spring... remember, the more over-the-top, the better!
Top Hat, £30, Hatbox; Rose Silk Headband, £150, Stone Bridge; Feather Hair Grip, £18, Star by Julian Macdonald; Felix Rey Metallic Bow Fascinator, £34.50, ASOS
