An exuberant vintage hat in a medley of verdant shades, this extraordinary creation combines pheasant feathers, sweeping ostrich plumes, and a delicate silk flower. The hat came into Gigi Burris's collection through a friend who had inherited a number of pieces from an unnamed celebrity. What particularly impresses the milliner is the exceptional quality of the ostrich feathers. “You can find beautiful ostrich now, but not like this. The plumes are so long, so full, and the colors are so beautiful,” she says. The interplay of different greens and feather textures makes for a wonderfully dramatic effect, while the intricate featherwork speaks to the craftsmanship of vintage millinery. Burris imagines it as the perfect finishing touch for a Central Park luncheon or garden party.
