Tutti Frutti at Joyce & Joyce

Welcoming the summer with these funny cherry headbands created by British designer Piers Atkinson exclusively for Joyce. When fashion eccentric and style icon Anna Dello Russo was spotted wearing a giant red cherry headpiece during fashion week, it immediately caused a fashion storm. Atkinson is the man behind this iconic headband which embodies summer's fruity trend. This unique style has now become one of the milliner's signature.

The cherry headbands come in 6 colors, baby blue, pink, lilac, orange, yellow and one-of-a-kind red and black glitter. Each limited piece are available on Joyce.com

" Hats are decorative. They are little sculptures, little crowns; they are all about showing off in a very celebratory way!"

Hats in the Royal Wedding

Jess Collett is a milliner in London, who is probably making headlines this week for the wedding hat that she is not creating - that of Carole Middleton who changed her wedding outfit at the last minute, making a co-ordinating hat unnecessary.

The young talented designer is making hats for quite a few of the other guests however. She is in a unique position, being privileged to what the guests will be wearing. The invitation forbids decorations; such as flowers or feathers, since the hats will be worn in church. Consequently most of the pieces Jess Collett will be making are bigger hats.

Although, we don't have any images of the hats that Jess is creating for the big event, below are some images of her recent creations, in collaboration with Ercole Moroni, a florist / designer. These fabulous pieces are made of wood, perspex, and silk flowers.
