Manchu Butterfly


For Winchester Fashion Week, some of my headdresses will be shown on the catwalk and a promo shoot is taking place next week so I thought I'd design and make a couple more. The first idea that came to me was a merging of the two photos above, I've found central and eastern Asian headdresses/hats very useful for inspiration and so I've used the shape of the Manchu headdress as the base, combined with the style of my former paper butterfly shoot. I've been adding to it slowly over the weekend and though not finished, it will look something like this:


These photos were taken not long after a small gathering at mine where I watched as friends cooked the food I bought on the BBQ, I'd forgotten how much I enjoy the summer! The evening started off with the Bollywood 'Devdas' soundtrack in the background and it was nice to see a couple friends I hadn't met up with in a while. Two of these friends are in fact pictured above, one wearing the butterflies and the other my new headdress and I've uploaded a couple photos from the evening, including the cat that invited itself over!
