Hats and Tales....

'Hellebore'; pewter silk organza structured evening dress by Joanne Fleming Design

I recently lent a number of gowns for a shoot by photographer Jo Thorne for milliner Emma Fielden for the lookbook for her new collection of rather wonderful headpieces....
Here are a few of my favourite shots, all taken at Sedgewick Park House in Sussex. All modelled by musical trio The Half Sisters, fresh from their shoot for French Vogue.....
