Veil of Wings

A striking sculptural interpretation of the top hat, rendered in classic black with French velvet ribbon detailing. Delicate wire and fine netting form an ethereal bird motif at the front, its wings extending upward to partially veil the wearer's face. This interplay of concealment and transparency draws from surrealist aesthetics, transforming the silhouette into a meditation on illusion and presence. The design blurs the boundary between functional millinery and wearable art, evoking dreamlike symbolism and quiet intrigue with each gesture.
