A member of the Rare Tea Company models a fabulous Katherine Elizabeth creation
Millinery masterpieces were all the rage at Sketch‘s opulent Parlour bar on Thursday night as glam-popstrelle Shingai Shoniwa and award-winning hat-maker Katherine Elizabeth launched their debut collection. Katherine is already an established milliner-to-the-stars (Lily Allen being a particular fan) whilst vivacious Noisettes‘ front woman Shinghai, is fast becoming one of London’s premiere fashionistas, with her wild self-styling (not to mention her regular FROW status at Fashion Week!) so its no wonder the two made such a great pairing and produced such imaginative creations of headwear.

The party guests were entertained by glamorous 1940′s female vocalists The Tootsie Rollers and served wonderful cocktails in chintzy floral teacups, the ingredients being a healthy measure of Sipsmith Gin imbibed with vintage inspired teas from Rare Tea Company (Ms Ooh La La loves their Battle of Britain tea tins especially!).

After an evening of surveying such wonderful headwear, inspired beyond her usual netted pill-box and bowlers, Ms Ooh La La vowed to become more adventurous in the hat department this season! If you do too, check out the fabulous collection on sale now at Katherine Elizabeth and p.s. it also launches shortly on ASOS.com so keep a look out!
