Still no sunshine to be found for prancing-around-in-dress time, but something else has cheered me up immensely and that is Thelma's AW08-9 collection. I personally don't need any encouragement when it comes to trying things on the head and accessorizing it to the maximum but other people might need coaxing. The beauty of Icelandic, Paris-based designer Thelma's headgear is that it might be something quite exaggerated stuck on a headband which means it's not at all fiddly and she gets the balance of restraint and drama just right in each of her pieces. She might go all out for private clients like Bjork (yay for the Icelandic collective...) but in her ready to wear pieces, there's nothing terrifying or OTT about her headbands adorned with oversized rosettes or pieces of crochet that demosntrates her Ecole Lesage (Atelier de Broderie) training. Yet there's still that bit of an 'edge' that probably means you won't be seeing these on the Gossip Girl headband crew just yet (give it a few more seasons and they'll do an SATC where the fashion just goes into overdrive....)...
