Top model Sasha Pivovarova and Clemence Posy are the faces of the Maison Michel Autumn/Winter lookbook. The photo shoot for the campaign features a stunning array of runway-ready headwear that ranges from intricate lacework veils and headbands to seductive yet understated floppy beach hats.
An air of eccentricity also runs through the Maison Michel Autumn/Winter lookbook. A floppy Stetson hat, for example, gets an all-over feather treatment in one image, while in another, studded and spiked strips encircle the model's head like ballistic barrettes. My favorite piece from the collection is the sequined cat-ear hat in the first image, which is made even more adorable with a bow and spots.
Since this is a winter collection, I'd be remiss to omit the luxurious earmuffs in the Maison Michel collection. The furry earwarmers are set off with a round pearl bracelet applique and a crisp black-and-white colorway.
