Day 12


Vintage Couture Headbands


As an independent designer, two of the greatest achievements is seeing somebody on the street and they are wearing something that you produced and designing pieces that are part of a special day or significant picture.

When a couture headband is made there are many elements that go into the design process: feathers, fabric, birdcage, buttons, felt, handmade flowers, all the way down to the headband..  Each of those elements is added one at a time and often tweaked, tried on until I feel satisfied that the design is complete.

The video definitely gives me the tingles and makes me proud as a designer at Italy Ava. Thank you to Studio B and all my friends and customers who have shared these pictures..
