Description
|
|
|
|
She is one of London's leading milliners; her collections are only found at Royal Warrant Holders James Lock & Co. in London, and her distinctive and stylish creations are worn by celebrities and members of the royal family. But Sylvia Fletcher is also a poet and a writer, and in the poem "Two Passions" she describes her bipartite pursuits: "Two passions intertwine. A tangle of fantasies. I make no attempt to unravel them. They burn together like small coals. Sparking my imagination." This very unusual book is an amalgam of couture millinery (seen in fashion sketches, studio photographs, and location photos), poetry (both lighthearted and romantic) and prose, offering a semi-biographical view of the eccentric world of hats, with a touch of fantasy.
