In a whimsical display of opulence fit for the Kentucky Derby, brands are creating over-the-top fascinators that convey their spirit and show off signature products, like Panera's Bread Hat.
Made to look as if it's constructed from a bread bowl, this fascinator-inspired design was made by A-Morir Studio, known for creating fashion for celebrity artists like Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga. The bread bowl component is in fact a 3D-printed replica of a bread bowl surrounded by ostrich feathers for volume, with a specifically chosen color to reference the brand's broccoli and cheddar soup.
Through its online shop, Panera is selling the Bread Hat for $21, which coincides with its revamped menu with 21 new and enhanced dishes. To sweeten the deal, The Bread Hat comes with a $100 Panera gift card.
