Ashley Lloyd never ceases to surprise with her unique hat collections. Her newest line 'A Milliner In A Million' is no different. Featuring several different pieces, this line invokes a feeling of the fantastic. Each piece is made up of different organic materials from feathers to wood to leaves. One headpiece looks like a crown fit for a forest king with a circular wooden body and a garland of golden berries.
The photography paired with Ashley Lloyd's beautiful line also serves to enhance its fantastical quality. Shot by Van Sarki, this photo series depicts two shirtless men wearing the headpieces while sensually closing their eyes and posing in relaxed, almost trance-like positions.
These headpieces are gorgeous examples of fantasy-inspired fashion and a demonstration that naturalism does not have to compromise fashionability.
