Summer Headpieces By Victoria Carson

Regular readers will know that I love a hat. But the Fedora, Panama and Trilby are cult classic for me that goes beyond mere love. Obsession, more like. I have a shelf unit dedicated to my collection of head adornments, much to the annoyance of my husband who wouldn’t be seen dead in a hat, as he likes to remind me.

As we creep into the summer months, those Panamas and straw Fedoras will be seen everywhere, from glossies, to models, to festival goers, to the person sat on front of you on that flight to Ibiza.

Yes, the straw hat screams “summer”, and the wider the brim, the better. But also, the more interesting and personalised the band, the more special and timeless.

As Milliners go, I love Philip Treacy but in this piece I introduce you to a lesser-known British talent delivering handmade, custom designed hats. Someone who’s making huge waves when it comes to one-off headpieces.

I have featured Victoria (Carson) before in Zips It Up,plus I’ve had two incredible, unique hats made personally by her fair hand. But, just when you thought she couldn’t raise the bar any further, Victoria has blown me away with her new collection of Summer Fedoras. They are an absolute must-have and guaranteed to be the talking point wherever you go.

Victoria has always had a passion for Hats, day and occasion wear. Following a one-day Millinery course in 2014, a spark was ignited and Victoria Charles Headpieces was born.

Originally creating small pieces for local clients from her Essex studio, Victoria went on to study at London College of Fashion and Kensington & Chelsea College.


Victoria now creates Bespoke Hats and Headpieces of exceptionally high quality, which adorn the heads of many high society clientele. And me…

POA.
