Description

Inspired by legendary milliner Sally Victor, renowned for her innovation and architectural approach to hat design, Flight Of The Milliner takes millinery into bold, unexpected territory. This is a hat that invites a second look—and a lingering gaze.

At first glance, it appears serene, its muted jade green base evoking soft elegance. But on closer inspection, the boldness of the design reveals itself: a series of real bird wings, sourced from ethical taxidermy, delicately perched along the brim like fleeting moments caught in mid-air. Each wing tells a story, creating a sculptural masterpiece that balances the beauty of nature with the sharp edge of avant-garde fashion.

This green fascinator pays homage to Sally Victor, a milliner known for pushing the boundaries of what a hat could be—sculptural, daring, and thought-provoking.

Key Features:

• Base: Large muted jade green hatinator, softly angled for an elegant drape.
• Material: Muted jade sinamay, a subtle complement to the natural tones of the bird wings.
• Decoration: Ethically sourced bird wings, carefully poised to evoke movement and flight.
• Fit: Designed to sit comfortably with millinery elastic, offering security without compromising style.
• Handcrafted Luxury: Made by hand in Sahar Millinery’s London studio, ensuring exceptional craftsmanship.

Inspired by Sally Victor

Sally Victor believed that hats should work in harmony with the face, enhancing rather than overpowering. Victor’s Flight takes that philosophy and adds an element of surprise—celebrating both natural beauty and the rebellious, boundary-pushing spirit of modern millinery.
