A Unique Hat for Your Little Black Dress

“A woman in a hat is always the ultimate sign of class, poise, and the fervor of a forgotten generation of ever confident females,” says Rehn Dudukgian, the creative behind Bijou Van Ness hats.  I adore that concept!  Dudukgian created her unique line of hats when she became sick of the boring repetition of the little black dress and realized that every woman can instantly add intrigue and personality to the expected wardrobe staple with a special hat.

Each vintage-inspired hat in the Bijou Van Ness collection is handmade by Dudukgian in her Hollywood studio.  The designs are unique, feminine, and bold.  The woman who wears a Bijou Van Ness hat is definitely confident and fashionable with a creative style!

Bijou Van Ness Leaf $275

Out of the collection of unique and beautiful pieces in the Bijou Van Leaf collection, this Leaf hat really stood out to me.  I love the way it is styled in this image with the placement on the side of the hide.  It’s a gorgeous piece with silk satin and Swarofski crystals.  I would love to wear this!

Bijou Van Ness Au Revoir Monsieur $275

Vintage-inspired veiled hats are fashionable right now and look amazing dressed up or down.  I love the chenille dot veiling!  This would definitely be the perfect hat to pair with your standard LBD for a formal event.

Bijou Van Ness Riviera $275

What an adorable little hat!  This tiny round plate piece that sits on the side of the head is handmade with a great pairing of fabrics: black and white seersucker and red silk satin.  A tiny freshwater pearl sits in the center of the red rosette.  How lovely!

Bijou Van Ness Not-So-Secret Garden $150

For the truly fashion forward woman looking to make a statement, Bijou Van Ness truly shows its originality with the Not-S0-Secret Garden veiled hat.  The birdcage wire veil in bright blue has three large blooms.  This piece is also available in all white, which would be an amazing interpretation of the traditional wedding veil.

You can currently purchase a few Bijou Van Ness styles online at Feng Junk.  On November 27 the website Bijou Van Ness will launch and on December 15 a selection of styles will be available at the Jennifer Kaufman store in Beverly Hills, CA.
