A HEAD FOR FASHION is a 6-pattern collection for sale as both a mini e-book and as individual patterns. Each project is inspired by a famous female fashion designer who was active during the Roaring Twenties.

Starting Nov. 1, 2014 you can purchase the HEAD FOR FASHION e-book mini-collection OR the individual patterns on both Ravelry and on my website: http://www.julieturjoman.com.

Suzanne Talbot, considered one of the most important style-makers of the early 20th century, designed couture millinery and clothing. Original in her artistic vision and innovative in her use of materials, her creations were anticipated with great excitement each season by the fashion press. She was known for designing hats that were wider at the crown than at the brim, a perfect example of which is this toque with its textured rise and dramatic jeweled dragon accent brooch.
