Outrageous Headwear

Magnificent Sculptural Millinery by Noel Stewart

British Noel Stewart makes these incredible sculptural headpieces featured in the gallery above. His gorgeous headwear collections come out twice a year with a formal line and a casual line.

Noel Stewart takes inspiration in anything from decay, Mayan Head dress, contemporary painting, and his grandmother's dressing table when creating his signature sculptural headpieces with which he wishes to modernize the millinery business.

These wonderful hats makes me wish I lived in a more headpiece-friendly environment. Somewhere warm and not windy, where women dress to the max everyday at the office.
