High fashion headdresses are like works of art. These hats are truly matchless and often one-of-a-kind, created just to be once showcased at Haute Couture show. They express the overall concept of a collection built around specific trend like futurism, minimalism or romanticism.
Designers’ ideas vary from “mundane” headdresses like turban (Gaetano Navarra) and stylized chauffeur caps (Andres Sandra) to more sophisticated headwear of artificial hair (John Galliano), futuristic derby hats (Narciso Rodriguez) and sorcerer’s hats (Lydia Delgado).

Talented Spanish fashion designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada built her new collection around geometric patterns on clothes which were completed with weird decorations on models’ heads.
