Majority of the her collection is made by the [Royal Family's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coronation-gin) favorite milliner Gina Foster. London's hotel called The Goring (where Kate stayed before her wedding) just launched a [fashion collaboration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexis-bittar-the-st-regis-new-york) with Gina. The collection is made up of five royalty-worthy headpieces and each one is designed to embody specific aspects of the hotel. The bead-adorned 'Goring Hat' for example, was inspired by the hotel's dining room, which consists of pink [Swarovski](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/47-brand-x-swarovski-x-new-york-yankees-hat) crystal chandeliers. Some hats even include the same silks that are used on the hotel's walls from the Gainsborough Silk Weaving Company. The luxurious collection has a traditional appeal, but Gina manages to add a funky and modern twist to each hat. Of course this type of luxury doesn't come cheap: the hats start at $1,117 each. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Luxury Fascinator Collections:** Opportunity for other high-end fashion brands to create their own line of luxury fascinators to cater to a niche market of affluent consumers. - **Fashion Collabs with High-end Hotels:** Collaboration opportunities between fashion brands and luxury hotels to create exclusive collections that cater to their clientele. - **Traditional Style with Modern Twist:** The trend of incorporating traditional design elements with modern flair in fashion accessories. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Designers and fashion brands can create their own luxurious fascinator collections to cater to the high-end market. - **Hospitality:** Luxury hotels can collaborate with fashion designers to create exclusive collections that cater to their affluent clientele. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Opportunities for high-end textile companies to provide specialized materials for luxury fascinator collections and fashion collaborations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Striking Artisan Cheese Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rinds-roses-collection.md) - [Royal Garden-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-3.md) - [Holiday Gown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nana-jacqueline.md) - [Limited-Edition Coronation Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coronation-doughnuts.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Opulent Kitty-Themed Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-3.md) - [Cat-Inspired Luxury Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-and-kate-spade.md) - [Royal Raspberry Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coronation-gin.md) - [Royal Garden-Made Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-gardenmade-gins-the-royal-collection-trust-unveils-a-gin-with-botanic.md)
