Royal Ascot 2020: The inspiration behind ‘Age of Englightenment’ from Hats by Maria

Hats By Maria Millinery is an independent British couture millinery brand which advocates for individuality and personal style as the highest form of sustainable fashion.

The ‘Age of Enlightenment’ hat is a special project by Hats by Maria Millinery for summer 2020 as part of the #StyledWithThanks campaign for Royal Ascot At Home

This halo hat takes its inspiration from the age of Renaissance – a time of new beginnings and a new playful appreciation of light and colour. The oversized halo shape is adorned with handmade resin crystals which act as light prisms to create a rainbow not just for the wearer but for the socially distanced passers by.

As such the concept of the hat is to honour the efforts of those who are the heroes of this new reality and offer reassurance and positive message in the current uncertain times, that even after the darkest of ages comes The Age of Enlightenment.

The resin pieces are a collaboration with a resin artist Elena Lojevski.
