Handmade fascinators by Italian designer Claudia della Frattina / JCN Fascinators, Rome
In a world of its own accessory fantasy, Claudia della Frattina’s Seaweed collection, a concept first launched 2 years ago, explores nature and sea life in rich colorations with adornments and beads. Combining a hand blocked round base in three layers of sinamay, with sinamay strands below, each delicate thread has been hand finished with minute crystal beads, creating a dazzling almost magical light effect.
The double headband is trimmed with raffia and has several big AB glass beads, balancing the overall effect and reflecting rainbow colours onto other surfaces when hit by the sun.
Claudia della Frattina makes handcrafted hats, fascinators and head pieces from her atelier in Rome, Italy. Her work is featured every year in the UK at the annual X Terrace press preview – an event for designers and innovators in millinery and hat design from around the world (For details visit: https://www.eyestylist.com/2020/03/to-the-future-and-back/).
