LFW: Mich Dulce and Piers Atkinson

A bunny head piece on a nurse hat? Winged bow beret? Veiled visors? Somebody please call Anna Dello Russo!! I thought to myself as I approached this amazing corner of extravagant and unique hats during London Fashion Week, ADR would be in fashion headpieces heaven.

"Actually Vogue Nippon Editor Anna Dello Russo already owns one of the pieces shown her" expressed the cheerful designer Mich Dulce to me. The designer's hats collection have been worn by celebrities like music icon Adam Ant and Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester.

Mich Dulce is acclaimed as one of the most original and important Filipino visionaries in fashion today. She designed her S/S 2013 hats and headpieces collecting using T'nalak, a traditional fabric made of banana fiber handwoven by the women of T'boli Tribe in the Philippines. It is worth mentioning that the designer studied extensively at some of the world’s best fashion schools like Central Saint Martins, London College of Fashion, and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York before launching her brand. And has won many international awards in recognition of her creativity and her commitment to socially conscious entrepreneurship.

I also came across another corner where they had extravagantly looking headpieces with cherries, lots of feathers, and botanical gardens on display and designed by Piers Atkinson.

Piers Atkinson is a London based artist, illustrator, milliner, costume designer, party organizer, fashion editor, and project manager (phew!!) who brings fun and imagination to his designs. His hats and headpieces can be seen on celebrities such as ADR (of course! The cherry hat!), Kate Moss, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Kelis, Cate Blanchett and Paloma Faith.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers.
