I had a very hard time trying to choose just one image to use from William Chambers 2010 Bridal Collection. The Scottish based designer has been creating millinery masterpieces since 2007 and winning awards for his avante garde style. He has already recieved commisions from fashion luminaries amongst them, Tessa Hartmann, Director of the Scottish Fashion Awards and is regularly featured in Vogue.
The bridal collection is exquisite with designs which are sparkly and ultra feminine, but unmistakably unique. This is hardly surprising, as he acknowledges that he takes inspiration from sources as diverse as ethnic head-dresses, British birds and the Glasgow architecture. Apart from an array of feathers, sparkles and pretty pieces, William Chambers uses unusual fabrics and components – a flower garland could be created from latex and you might see some equally unusual shiny plastic or patent leather. The end result is always eye catching!
William Chambers provides a free consultation service for exclusive commissions and will work with you to create the perfect hat or headpiece that will suit your dress. Consultations normally take place at his city centre studio, where William will discuss materials, style, colour, shape and size. Any designs seen on his website can be recreated in different colours, sizes and materials. Bespoke designs are encouraged if you have something specific in mind. If a hat or headpiece is required to match an existing outfit, you will be asked to bring this or a sample of the material along to ensure a good match. Customers living further afield can consult by phone or email. Once the design is agreed, production will usually take a few days to three weeks.
