What a great idea,
'The Hat Collective' got together today to unveil the latest collections of up and coming milliners in the relaxing surround of
Metro Garden Restaurant in Clapham, a garden party indeed named 'The Milliners's Tea Party'. Angela Bruce, Ellen Bowden, Awon Golding, Eliane Sarah and Mandy McGregor each showed the craft, care and love of creating the prettiest, dramatic and artistic sides of hat making in the UK.
In afternoon tea party tradition the soiree began with a selection of refreshing cocktails and delicious tidbits, scones, savory delights and lashings of tea!
Right on with the show...
Galapagos- Angela Bruce
Kaze-Awon Golding
Libby- Eliane Sarah
Lapsangsouchong-Ellen Bowden
Shadow Rose-Anna Pulleyn
As you can see these are very 'my lady' creations, very feminine and jaunty statement makers. I spoke with some of the designers who revealed a passion for their craft.
Bonjour-Awon Bruce
Lorie-Eliane Sarah
Lady Grey-Ellen Bowden
Peony Passion-Mandy McGregor
Fabulous names by the way!
Ni Hao-Awon Golding
Assam-Ellen Bowden
Gertrude Stein-Anna Pulleyn
These are but a few of this seasons collection, the aim of
The Hat Collective is to provide a platform for newly graduated miliners. They plan to exhibit future collections each season in and around LFW.
Lastly the Gin Trifle, delightful! (we took the glass cup and saucer home with us!)
