Maryam Keyhani, a Toronto and Berlin based artist and milliner, is diversifying her creations by now including bridal hats or headpieces. For any bride who is looking to stand out and make a statement, Keyhani’s peices will provide a shock of inspiration.
In a 2018 interview with Vogue, Keyhani explained her love for hats by saying, “When I wear hats, I feel safe.” She described her use of hats as a shield between herself and the rest of the world. She is now stretching this love of hats all the way into the bridal industry in 2020.
According to Vogue, the event that inspired the creation of this bridal line was an appointment with a soon-to-be-married client who came in to fit on an ostrich feather crown. Keyhani was taken by the shift in her client’s attitude and outward emotions as she put the crown atop her head.
“You put on something extraordinary and you feel extraordinary. Isn’t that amazing to feel on your wedding day?,” she said to Vogue on March 10, 2020 .
About the headpiece line she said, “I spend a lot of time on the other side of reality, so fantasy is very much where these pieces exist.” And fantasy chic is exactly what you see when you lay your eyes on the look book.
Keyhani said she loves the classic, romantic bride but she also loves massively over-the-top dresses with elegant headpieces. “Whatever the dress a Keyhani creation is worn with, it’s meant to be an invitation to play, and gives a woman the chance to be the bride and the cake,” she said.
