Madame Rhos has created this wonderful hat for the Miranda's Choice Star Collection, which is only available in a limited edition. It is a hat made of artificial raffia, which is decorated with very noble and high-quality textile peonies in pink and beige tones. The hat has a diameter of approx. 30 cm and is often worn sideways. A hair comb on the inside serves for the attachment. Ear studs and a pearl necklace also belong to the collection to match the hat.
Madame Rhos about her collection: "I am a classic and an aesthete - I adore the old masters of painting and music and could lose myself in ballet for hours. Art is not just a hobby for me, it is my life. It enchanted me even before I decided to become an opera singer at the age of 15. Pearls have been popular jewellery throughout the centuries - even if for some it is old-fashioned, for others boring - for me pearls are the epitome of classical and timeless elegance. The mother-of-pearl shimmer gives the skin a porcelain-like grace that gives every woman the feeling of being in a painting. Every woman is beautiful in her own way. Every woman should celebrate her beauty, every day, full of gratitude to decorate it and to enjoy being born a woman.
This creamy white summer hat garnished with peonies gives life and freshness to the timeless pearls. You feel as if you perceive a scent, simply from the sight, as if your nose remembers past love affairs and your senses are sent on a journey. All this while you enjoy your afternoon tea in the spring sun.
My collection stands for Momento mori, even if it doesn't suggest it at first and second glance. But vintage fashion is always criticized for being thankful to live today, because the circumstances at that time were largely uncomfortable. But aren't they always? And that's what it's all about - fashion is not superficial. We wrap ourselves in it, put on a mask if necessary, underline the mood, make statements if wanted. In addition, constant resentment leads to restless hearts and ingratitude circles as far as one can see. But everything is mortal, the moment, the beauty, us. That is why Momento mori. The memory that everything passes away and that is why we are grateful to live in the present and to enjoy the present. Pearls that wander through times, a hat that protects us from adversity, flowers that celebrate life and, for once, do not pass away because of their nature."
