Her Curious Nature





Her Curious Nature
 
I discovered Her Curious Nature whilst shopping in Topshop.
 
Her Curious Nature (HCN) stands out as the brand showcases an array of designs that bridge the gap between traditional millinery and current fashion trends, this creates the brand’s popularity with those from all backgrounds and ages.

Much like her designs, Her Curious Nature founder, Sabrina, has never been one to adopt a conventional stance. Despite always proving to be creatively driven she never went on to receive any formal training in design. In Sabrina’s work you can see her fascination with the traditions of eastern performing arts, this transpires through her work frequently, as the use of rich colours and luxurious embellishments echo the exotic detail of traditional Arabic costume. And yet in such contrast the elements of British country heritage fabrics and past times incorporate her childhood influences and current inspirations as a UK designer.

The head–dresses are each individually handcrafted, using hand dyed velvet flowers. Each piece unique in its arrangement and all embellished using coloured glass crystal jewels. Vibrant tropical colours such as Orange and Fuchsia or Acid Green with Red were enhanced by oversized Lilies in bright white for a punchier tropical feel.

I love the clear costume aspect these pieces have, suitable for editorials and the person looking for something alternative to the norm in terms of accessories. Magical....
