Awon Golding Millinery S/S’14: Colori Gelato Stephanie AndersonApril 30, 20142 viewsdesignFashionStyle0 Comments2 views Awon Golding is very excited to announce her second independent collection: S/S’14 ‘Colori Gelato’ and we are bursting at the seams over each and every piece from it. Spring/summer 2014 sees Awon Golding continue her fascination with traditional millinery techniques mixed with eye-catching frivolity. Utilising materials such as pinukpok, sinamay, ostrich feathers and silk flowers, to create a collection that is simultaneously classic, yet modern. If like us you’ve never heard of pinukpok, it’s fine, smooth and silky fabric derived by manual pounding or hammering of the abaca strands or fibers. ‘Colori Gelato’ was inspired by a 1998 summer holiday spent backpacking on Italy’s Amalfi coast. This exposure to timeless Italian style mixed with playful pastels has been the inspiration to create a collection embodying seaside elegance and summer iconography. Soft gelato pastels fuse with bold graphic lines to give a modern, fresh take on feminine hats and headpieces, to devise a range that is current, unique and feminine. Awon Golding is a Hong Kong-born milliner who has spent an eclectic youth in India, Hong Kong and England. She draws on her multicultural heritage to inspire dynamic headpieces. Working with bold shapes to create dramatic silhouettes, each piece is meticulously handcrafted in her London studio, incorporating traditional materials and modern techniques.
