Breathtaking work from young milliner Ashley Lloyd... A woman after my own heart, and a recent graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art, she uses a seductive combination of traditional ribbons, feathers, and flowers, alongside skulls, horns, and taxidermy to emphasize the "contrast between decoration and decay". Excuse me now while I fantasize about grand entrances and masquerade balls - I like a little more coverage than nude-colored nickers, but I know what I'd be wearing on my head...

Thanks for the link, James! Crazy stuff... I am totally a sucker for incorporating natural objects into fashion - humans have been doing it for centuries, why stop now!
