A few weeks ago, Ted Mishima and I collaborated again on a very fun photo shoot. I wanted to experiment with a different mechanic to make fascinators and had a lot of fun designing them. At the flower market I found a magnificent tropical leaf, alocasia sting ray. As usual, I had no idea how the design would evolve; it turned out to be a striking choice for this project!

A few weeks ago a friend gave me some wood shavings that she had collected as her husband was working on a wood project. I honestly had no idea how I would use it, but they turned out to be the perfect element to create curly hair for the second fascinator!

For the third design I braided some midollino sticks to extend the small base.

Many thanks to @anoushanou for modeling!
