The fascinator made a huge comeback earlier this year thanks to Kate Middleton and the Royal Wedding, yet the Glamour Spain La Feline Noire photo spread has given this traditional hair accessory a feline facelift. The subtle introduction of kitten ears gives this look a punk, hipster edge that makes it all the more contemporary.
Shot by photographer Alice Rosati for the magazine's December 2011 issue, the Glamour Spain La Feline Noire editorial complements these fierce fascinators with a wardrobe of animal prints and sculptural silhouettes. Styled by Mapi Vidal, model Luize Salmgrieze some unique outfit options for the season of holiday parties. The black ensembles really make Salmgrieze's red hair stand out, especially against the grey city backdrop.
