Back to black

This post will be about next seasons greatest accessory, the black felt hat. Whether its a trilby, a fedora or a wider floppy hat, autumn/winter 2011 is all about adorning your head in style.

Gracing Gucci's A/W catwalk shows in rich 1970's fashion, the felt trilby can be seen as the perfect finishing touch to any outfit this winter. Dont be afraid to be bolder with rich colours; burgandy, deep purple, navy blue and emerald green being the colours of choice this year.  Camels and browns are also a great choice and can be easily worn with any winter outfit.

Hello :)

Welcome to the Fairheads Headwear blog! First of all, I'll tell you a little bit about what this blog will be about...


Fairheads Headwear


is a family business -fronted by me, Jane Fairhead- with forty years of combined millinery experience. We specialise in bespoke headwear for any occasion.

Where possible, I use beautiful antique fabric, trims and veiling, much of which is of a quality that is very fine and no longer obtainable.  I can create bespoke items to suit your  individual style and I also have a range of off-the-shelf designs that are available to purchase through my Etsy shop.

This blog will be an insight into the world of millinery and vintage fashion as I travel to vintage fairs and keep up-to-date with the lastest vintage inspired fashion, jewellery and headwear.
