SILKEN GRACE WIDE BRIM HAT

A sophisticated grey sinamay wide-brim hat built on a dramatic, sculpted asymmetric silhouette with one side rising higher than the other. The piece is anchored by a striking oversized sinamay bow embellished with lustrous metallic tones, the bow echoing the asymmetric curve of the brim and lending an opulent sense of sculptural drama. Worn tilted to the right side of the head and fitted with a wire and elastic for a secure, comfortable fit, the silhouette holds elegance and a hint of mystery in considered balance. Hand-made in our London atelier by Merve Bayindir Millinery, a member of the British Fashion Council, Silken Grace is finished to a couture standard, a refined statement piece with a quietly dramatic edge.

Event: Mother-of-the-bride occasions, Royal Ascot and race days, formal weddings, gala receptions, and considered high-fashion daytime events.

Styling: Wear Silken Grace tilted to the right side of the head and paired with a tailored silver, dove grey or soft pewter ensemble, a sleek mother-of-the-bride dress with structured shoulders or a clean column gown both giving the asymmetric brim the architectural ground it asks for. Hair worn pulled back into a low chignon or styled in soft, polished waves keeps the line of the brim clean and the bow in full view. Finish with fine silver drop earrings, a sleek satin clutch and a refined nude or rose lip, restrained choices that match the cinematic, lustrous register of the hat.
