Mad Hatters
Kate Middleton, Erin O’Connor, the Queen –British women pull of hats with such aplomb, don’t they?
After a two-year stint in London, Jillian Wood is back in Toronto making gorgeous fascinators (from $25) inspired by Britain’s hat heritage.
Some fabrics come from local stores (her mother owned a fabric store which is a great source for vintage remnants) while others, like her Liberty prints, come straight from the eponymous London store. She searches high and low for buttons and many are Czech vintage glass buttons. Feathers, tulle and lace make these headpieces ultra feminine.
Now all we need is the accent.
