Never Is the Next New Thing

Zang in Bloom

by

My talented and charitable designer friend Zang Toi won the “Most Beautiful Headdress” award at Tulips & Pansies Headdress the Affair, the event I mentioned here. For the event, which raises money for Village Care of New York, fashion designers and florists team up to produce spectacular head pieces. Zang worked with Golf Srithamrong of Tantawan Bloom. The beautiful pink gown in these photos is by Zang, of course!

That’s Zang to the right of the model and Golf to his right.

There’s a nice back view of the gown at Harper’s Bazaar’s site, and a good article on the event here. Congrats, Zang! And I think all you fashion bloggers who are into feathery fascinators should consider upgrading to giant headdresses. They’re definitely the hot new look.

  1. Amazing! The model looks like she balanced it really well!

  2. Gorgeous!

    And I have to say when I see men ala Marc Jacobs in a skirt I want to bang my head against a wall but on Zang its rather adorable!

  6. You could so pull that off. But, I think Zang should add a perch on it so one of your furry children could sit on top of your head.

    Zang makes over the top look so elegant and the model makes it look so easy to balance it. I am sure it wasn’t so easy. The model might have even required a tylenol or two after the show.

  7. Oh! Oh! So beautiful!! Swoony-petunie beautiful! And Wendy, I need you to trot right on over to Zang’s and swipe that dress for me. K? K.

  8. That headdress is the most spectacular thing I’ve seen in a long time. I love the shape, and it’s very well-balanced. It’s perfect with the dress.

  9. Hi there-A big well to Zang, the gown and headdress are most stunning indeed!

  10. Let the record state that you called it: the Carmen Miranda look is going to be IT this spring. 😉

  17. wow!!

  20. Fabulousss… I love his zest & lively talented spirit! Wendy, you should ask him abt this Malaysian Restaurant in NYC called Nonya…The food is YUM* (I hope it's still around?!)

  21. That headdress is amazing…but it must be killing that poor model’s neck!

  22. These are just so fun Miss Wendy, we are probably going to mention the preppy element of the evening in our next post! (Do you think people will be surprised by the ‘preppy participants’?)

    BTW, Fashion Herald and I were chatting about you Monday night, discussing your amazing ability to comment in such a witty way on all of our blogs! We’re like a couple of little Miss Wendy groupies, you should have heard us!

    Smiles at you,
    tp

  25. Hey, WendyB, Mama and I are in the Miss Wendy groupie thing, honey. Big time. For many reasons, not the least of which is the variety of your posts and/or comments. Yea!

  26. The headress looked so easy to wear. I am not so sure the model would agree. Great pics too.

  28. So true, what The Princess said, we hardly even discussed blogging and your name was the one we were gushing over!
    And Zang does it again, amazing. Those two should team up again.

  31. Zang always looks so happy! I noticed from your pics that he’s always laughing his head off (no pun intended) Good for him!
