Hat Designer or Dream Maker?

Some people dream of a wall of shoes, my dream is to have hats and fascinators displayed in a glass cabinet!

I’ve already talked about my shoe collection but another of my addictions concerns headpieces.

I’m not talking about casual headgear but about these works of art made by hand in delicate fabrics, those that we see at royal weddings, at racecourses and other official ceremonies.
​
I lived a long time in Australia and I liked to attend horse races, in particular the most famous of them: the Melbourne Cup.

Every year, the spectators compete with daring creativity on their heads and for me unthinkable not to wear a creation of Arturo Rios!

Arturo is a Los Angeles designer, he creates for American stars (Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Rihanna ...) but also European Princesses and other celebrities.
​
His work is pure art, he always selects vintage materials, delicate and rare, and transcend them in amazing fascinators.
 
I’m fortunate to own 3 of his creations: Kate (red), Chanel (blue) and Faith (pink).

Arturo helped me pick the red and the blue one for the 2013 and 2015 Melbourne Cup. These fascinators gave me the opportunity to be officially photographed for the event and selected for the fashion competition.
​
Initially, I wanted to wear the blue hat at my wedding, but when I decided to do a solo wedding I changed for something different.

I’ve had the pink fascinator a few months ago, I wore it for my sister’s wedding in Champagne (France).
​
What excitement to open the box arriving directly from Los Angeles. I was scared to take it out of the box because it seemed so delicate.

It's like that, it's my thing, I don’t know where it really comes from, except that I always like to stand out and I’m also attracted to beautiful things ...
​
What is certain is that with the creations of Arturo Rios, we never go unnoticed!!
Thank you, Arturo, you’re more than a hat designer, you’re a dream maker!

In September, I’m invited to a wedding in Paris. It will be an unforgettable moment and I need your help.

Tell me below or on social media, which of my 3 fascinators do you want me to wear: red, blue or pink?

Finally, a sexy song that everyone knows "You can leave your hat on", and no matter the circumstances, I will keep a fascinator on my head! 😉
