HOOD GUEST CURATOR:
Fiona Leahy is the founder and Creative Director of her eponymous event design agency, Fiona Leahy Design. A former fashion stylist, Irish-born Leahy has spent the last 14 years travelling the world, staging seriously decadent events – from a party in the Doha desert for Damien Hirst to a seven day influencer event in Mexico for Aerin Lauder. Leahy’s boundless imagination and attention to detail are matched only by her passion for ‘matchimalism’: the layering of matching print on print which has become her signature event aesthetic.

HARVY SANTOS - IDA
"This hat is the millinery version of a party – a good time the moment you put it on. I love the bright raffia flowers and can picture myself in this, margarita in hand, wearing a swimsuit. Just looking at it puts me in a good mood!"
ADELE MILDRED - BIBI
"I adore the raffia pompom on this hat as well as its jaunty shape. I am a big fan of hats with ribboned ties: so practical for boat rides, open top car journeys and general gusts of wind! I would wear this hat with a pretty sundress and ballet flats."
AWON GOLDING - ASTER
"I would team this halo star with a long slinky black dress. The idea of a star radiating from one’s head is so wonderful. It reminds me of the Statue of Liberty and I would love to be the Statue of Liberty for an evening!"
