Mr Wood’s outstanding, bespoke millinery pieces are created by designer Loren Wood, from Bristol.He has been creating unique millinery for the past four years and his acute interest in zoology, ornithology and taxidermy inspires his collections which feature a range of zoological specimens.The Mr Wood’s new ‘Hardy’ collection, inspired by the still life works of dead game by Victorian painter James Hardy Jnr., has a quintessentially, quirky English feel with pieces featuring a wood pigeon, an Old English Partridge and a Hare fur and ears amongst other creatures.
The crossover period of time between the Edwardian era and the 1920s combined with the fall of the upper classes and chinoiserie, the oriental fashions of the time, inspired the debut Epoque collection.
This astounding collection includes a large couture showpiece of sinister black, lacquered willow with a nest housing two little red birds and a couture winged showpiece consisting of tropical bird wings and long antique jet tassels.
Mr Wood’s fantastically imaginative and unusual hats take millinery to new artistic heights.
