Black Phoenix Feather Hat

Black Phoenix Feather Hat is an amazing creation of gold tipped black feathers arranged on a simple face hugging percher style hat.

This piece was created for a runway event "Slavic Fairy Tales" presented at the Fashions of Multicutural Australia (FOMA) in Sydney, December 2022, and also showcased in the Melbourne Fashion Festival in March 2023.

Black Phoenix Feather Hat is a piece that will create immediate interest and attract everyone's attention. You will stand out from the crowd.

This hat should sit down on the right side of your head with the tip falling just below your eyeline. The gold and black strands will create the illusion of long hanging earrings. You can wear this hat anywhere you like. Certainly this is a hat for the Spring Races and a definite Fashions on the Field hat. The Black and gold feathers will compliment so many outfits. With black and gold you can wear this in the day or evening.
 The hat block shape used to create this percher is "Giselle"- a custom made shape to Wendys requirements,  from the UK block maker Guy Morse Brown.
