Friday edit: Jellyfish headpiece by JCN Fascinators

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.

Handmade headpiece by the Rome based designer – JCN Fascinators

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.
