C Magazine The Return of Power Dressing
When C Magazine released their Fall editorial titled “The Return of Power Dressing,” we were delighted to see one of our signature creations, the Big Brim Velvet Hat, take center stage in a story that celebrates strength, elegance, and unapologetic boldness. Photographed by the visionary Daniella Midenge and styled by the ever-talented Hunter Clem, the editorial brings together iconic brands and modern designers against the striking architectural backdrop of the Academy Museum in Los Angeles.
The story of power dressing is as much about attitude as it is about clothing, and this editorial captures that essence beautifully. In one standout look, our velvet big brim hat is paired with a sharp Rudsak trench coat, luminous Alexis Bittar earrings, and sleek Schutz shoes. The pairing juxtaposes timeless sophistication with a fresh modern edge, embodying exactly what the editorial aims to communicate: that today’s power dressing is about individuality, versatility, and commanding presence.
The big brim hat itself was designed to be bold and theatrical. Its oversized silhouette frames the face dramatically, while the sumptuous velvet adds a sense of depth and richness to the look. Velvet, with its soft luster, is a fabric that has historically been associated with royalty and luxury, and in this context it amplifies the idea of power through elegance. The hat does more than accessorize; it creates a mood, a sense of mystery and drama, while simultaneously anchoring the entire look in a sense of confidence.
C Magazine’s feature brings to light the evolving language of power dressing in a world where traditional structures of authority are shifting. Instead of adhering strictly to suits and boardroom attire, today’s powerful silhouettes lean into extravagance, individuality, and artistry. By pairing a dramatic velvet brim with modern accessories and classic trench styling, the editorial demonstrates how fashion continues to evolve while honoring its roots.
Our Big Brim Velvet Hat, when placed in this narrative, underscores how millinery continues to play an essential role in fashion editorials that champion boldness and reinvention.
We’re honored to see our work styled alongside such respected names and in such a dynamic editorial. The Return of Power Dressing is a reminder that accessories are never secondary - they are statements, and sometimes, they are the story itself.
