Atelier-Mayer Look of the Week Featuring Showgirl Hairband

Abbie Walsh super sparkle handbeaded Showgirl Hairband as worn by Stylist Hannah Bhuiya in her Autumn/Winter Hot List Look of the week for Atelier-Mayer.

Hannah says:
In a season that offers a multiplicity of options, one of the most apparent trends was towards taking a bolder brighter colour palette from summer INTO winter. Italian mega-brands Versace and Missoni always show the colours of intensity season in and out, and they also are known for showing multi-tone outfits, too. So, to keep your self up-to-date this dress from Atelier-Mayer is a knock-out on many levels - it mixes a fabulous historicism - I imagine it being worn by Josephine Baker in Paris OR Donna Summer in Studio 54 - with another of NEXT season’s hottest features, fringing. With all those bases covered you can’t go wrong!
