Boutique Collection by Richard Designs

Each of our hats and fascinators is thoughtfully designed using the finest sinamay, feathers, silk fabrics and best quality Swarovski crystals. We work hard to create designs that match current occasion and evening wear trends in both style and colour.

Autumn / Winter 2011

‘Vintage ladylike decorum and Cinematic elegance’ sums up the mood of 2011, with 1940’s silhouettes and accessories inspiring new collections The Boutique Collection takes loose inspiration from the details and shapes of 1940’s millinery. Knot constructions which are reminiscent of the drape detail on turban style headwear of this era feature, while vintage trims and accent details give that eclectic look, without appearing fussy.

With the emphasis on prints in occasion wear fashion, our collection will combine unusual textures and tonal block colours that will complement busy prints.

‘Rustic jewel tones and heritage colours’ are prevalent on catwalks this autumn/winter so our collection takes inspiration from the colour trend that are appearing within catwalk and occasion wear collections for the autumn.

Spring / Summer 2012

We have combined the key trend elements from the catwalk to produce accessories that will complement the forthcoming fashion collections for spring 2012. Our focus is on the 1940’s and 50’s for the millinery influences and trim details. We have combined elements of the eclectic use of nature-inspired trims and colours, with the comforting textures and luxurious fabric trends popular within the said eras, to create classic, yet contemporary millinery designs.

The colour palette for Spring/Summer 2012 is a Colour Symphony, performing harmonies of soft pastels with a crescendo of mid-tones and lyrical accents. Available in the most luxurious fabrics tactile textures and organic forms, the new collections are full of inspiring classic shapes, reinvented for eclectic, contemporary millinery hits.
