Winter Solstice draws near . The holiday spirit makes us sparkle and glow , bringing light to the dark nights with the warmth of our hearts and loves .
Rich velvets and embroideries , romantic silks , antique laces and satins gleam in the warm , afternoon light , adorning a retro and timeless woman , a Zhivagoesque Julie , shown dressed in Custom Couture fantasies designed by Natasha Von .
Hand made , each Chapeau is unique , and one of a kind … as is each garment .
Perfectly beautiful , glowing in the spirit of Yule … the fanciful whimsy of the sumptuous hats and couture fantasies make fashion a work of timeless art , and bring the joy of a personal theater to our lives …
And what better time than Christmas for tradition to mix with fantasy , and to celebrate times gone by , – with a delicious quixotic spin or two ?Or the New Year , to bring joyous delight , and whimsical magic into the year to come ?
And in the spirit of an Enchanted Holiday , this charming duo , true Modern Romantics , are doing it right , and starting early !
