Latress on the Menjay
Handmade works of art, pieces of myself… pieces of my life – from the various materials (vintage and new) I use – to the hours invested in creating each unique piece. Every single moment of life is a special occasion… never to be taken for granted… always to be celebrated, so why wouldn't you dress your hair up anytime… anywhere?
Each fascinator is handmade with a number of vintage materials: fabrics and/or jewels. Each fascinator is delicately fashioned as a literal piece of art, intended to be worn and cherished, never to be identically reproduced.
Definition/History of Fascinators:
Fascinators are deserving of the name, and are somewhere between a hair accessory and a small, fancy hat, attaching with a comb, clip or headband. They are usually worn at formal events, and the designs are intended to be quirky and compelling: to fascinate. The look can range from chic and sophisticated to creatively bizarre, with a style that is part 1920s flapper and part uptown glamour.
The history of fascinators goes back to the 18th century, when elaborate beaded and feathered hair ornaments were de rigeur. Today, the beads and feathers are still a frequent component, although more conservative designs can still be found. The resurgence of burlesque show style in the hipster underground has resulted in some sizzling hot headpieces, many of them handmade, all head-turners. Components like peacock feathers, ribbons and veils make each creation an eye-catching masterpiece.
