Quotes Personally I see millinery as that exclusive aspect of fashion where we transform a good ensemble into a fabulous masterpiece by adding a touch of elegance. I love the fact that this level of depth in styling is free from any limitations or inhibitions. Creating headpieces for me is when my creativity is at its peak!. Velma Owusu-Bempah Interview Posted by Hat Academy on July 17, 2018 at 4:00pm My ideal customer is the woman looking for comfortable headwear with sophistication, who understands the importance of accessories and appreciates how it can enhance her personal style. Velma Owusu-Bempah Interview Posted by Hat Academy on July 17, 2018 at 4:00pm Nature and all its untamed beauty have always inspired my work. Using plants, flowers, butterflies – natural beauties -to capture the unique style of every woman is what keeps my creative flair alive and represents my style aesthetic. Velma Owusu-Bempah Interview Posted by Hat Academy on July 17, 2018 at 4:00pm The versatility and appeal of lace in millinery definitely puts it in the lead as my material of choice. I am drawn to its texture and added flair when I am creating a masterpiece. Velma Owusu-Bempah Interview Posted by Hat Academy on July 17, 2018 at 4:00pm I always stay true to the words of Philip Treacy, “Forget your face shapes, keep trying on different hats until you find the perfect one that you feel happy and confident in. Headpieces are all about feeling confident in what you are wearing and that make you look more beautiful, and elegant.” Velma Owusu-Bempah Interview Posted by Hat Academy on July 17, 2018 at 4:00pm The Ghanaian fashion industry is definitely not new to using headpieces (head wraps) as accessories, however hats and other stylish headpieces are fairly a new concept, so you are sure to encounter that customer who is not entirely certain of what they are looking for in stylish head pieces and how these can complement their styling options.
