The new millinery designs that jumped out at me this week:

Interesting fedora/homberg hybrid from Australian milliner Helen Kaminski for our beloved male readers
Smart black straw pillbox base cocktail hat with silk flower trim from Cessiah Alice Millinery
Bright orange fedora from Parisienne milliner Veronica Merucci Chapeaux
It takes a lot to make me notice a fascinator but Lisa Tan certainly did with this white layered design  
Same for this stunningly beautiful but slightly bonkers floral headpiece from Australian brand Murley & Co. Millinery

And this season’s surging return of the boater continues with four wonderfully trimmed designs from Millinery by Mel
