    Noel Stewart's veiled hat for Louise Amstrup

    Georgie loves this… because Darya is channelling the black widow within wearing this veiled black Panama hat by Noel Stewart for Louise Amstrup's spring/summer 11 collection. What's not to love about this eerie yet classic monochrome picture, perfect for any diva or drama queen: the hat, a fishtail maxi skirt by Rick Owens Lilies and to "top-it-off" some American Apparel for understated elegance. As a grand finale… two very sparkly bangles by Swarovski. Tempted? We are.

     

     

    London-based Noel Stewart is one of a small selection of international milliners who have taken the best of a traditional upper class favourite and reworked it to become an integral part of contemporary fashion. His keen eye for construction, playful use of materials and appreciation for the dramatic effect of a great statement piece has gained him a loyal customer base and celebrity following. With a collection ranging from ready-to-wear to couture and many design collaborations under his belt, Noel has developed a strong signature style taking inspiration from architecture and contemporary art and adding some London grit to a British classic.

     

     

    Before taking his Masters at the Royal College of Art, Noel was an apprentice at Dai Rees and at Stephen Jones for Christian Dior Couture. He made his mark when Barney's picked up his first collection in 2003 and is now available worldwide at a selection of stockists. Design collaborations include Roland Mouret, Marios Schwabb, Roksanda Ilincic, Erdem, Hussein Chalayan, Diesel, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Oscar De La Renta and of course Louise Amstrup. Kiera Knightly, Lilly Allen, Kylie Minogue and Beth Ditto are loyal fans of his work. Both Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue recognized his fervour for stage presence and commissioned him to create the hats worn in their world tours.

    Georgie loves this… because nothing could keep you warmer in the colder months than this decadent fox trimmed scarf. Delicately crafted into a quirky spiral, and remarkably soft to the touch this luxury piece is the perfect winter addition. Easily teamed with any autumnal staple, the neutral grey fur and wool pallet makes it all the more wearable.

    MIU MIU SPARKLES

    Georgie Loves this… Because this midnight blue sequinned Miu Miu bag is the ultimate evening accessory. If like most of us, a small clutch does not suffice for a night out on the town, this medium sized satchel is the perfect option. Although larger, it does not appear bulky due its handy reflective covering. Think statement rather than oversized. The delicately sewn sequins also provide a somewhat magical effect as when swept one they appear blue and when swept another they appear silver. Ingenious.

    The second fashion line from visionary Miuccia Prada, Miu Miu is regarded as the more youthful of the brands, even as far as the name itself which was inspired by Miss Prada's nickname as a child. Launched in 1992, it has established itself as Prada's cool younger sister, boasting bold inventive collections that are quirky yet refined. Most notably Miu Miu's shoes and accessories' playful aesthetic have made them highly coveted amongst the fashion set. Often inspired by young, stylish girls working within the fashion industry Miuccia Prada designs for confident, career driven women who are not afraid to stand out from the crowd.
