A bold soft blue extra-wide-brim hat built on a sleek silk sateen and sinamay base in soft pastel tone, the silhouette shaped in dramatic asymmetric proportions and tilted gracefully to the right side of the head. The right inner side of the hat is filled with clusters of intricately handcrafted blue silk flowers, with further silk blooms set across the outer bottom, the floral arrangement extending from the inner side outwards in considered, captivating visual impact. Fitted on a mini saucer secured to the head with a wire headband and elastic for a stable, comfortable hold, the hat reads as both refined statement and dramatic race-day artistry. Hand-made in our London atelier by Merve Bayindir Millinery, a member of the British Fashion Council, Midnight Whisper is finished to a couture standard, a play on timeless elegance and modern allure with refined sophistication and audacious style.
Event: Royal Ascot, Derby, Melbourne Cup, high-profile weddings, and considered statement-led race-day celebrations.
Styling: Wear Midnight Whisper tilted gracefully to the right side of the head with the dramatic asymmetric brim casting a soft sculptural shadow across the face, the silk flower clusters catching the eye from inner and outer side in considered, romantic focus. Pair the piece with a soft sky blue, dove-grey, ivory or pale champagne ensemble, a fluid midi gown or a tailored race-day silhouette both giving the wide brim the calm canvas its bold form asks for. Hair styled into a low chignon or a softly polished bun keeps the line of the brim clean from every angle. Finish with fine pearl drop earrings, a slim satin clutch and a soft rose lip, restrained choices that match the dramatic yet refined register of the piece.
