The design of each hat reflects an element of lunar beauty. Reflections of moonlight on water are captured in the intricate beading on ‘Moonlight’ and the use of deadstock Maison Michel “zan” braid in ‘Eclipse’ both materials that subtly shift and shimmer with the light in their surroundings. Annabeth’s interpretation of the eclipse takes form in two pieces: one is a felt hat layered in ombré tulle with a contrasting black crown, and the other features a blue ring evoking the luminous edge of the corona.

Annabeth’s colour palette reflects this using a deeply matt black, a midnight navy, a blue shimmer grey and pops of vivid blue. Annabeth not only used dead stock Maison Michel materials but also dead stock recycled fabric from ARCS london.

Throughout the collection, wavelike patterns derived from Annabeth’s early sketches create a visual language that ties each piece together. Lunar Harmony is not only a tribute to the moon’s quiet power but also a celebration of the balance between the elements.

Inspired by Nicolai Howalt’s photographic series Light Break, Annabeth drew from his reflection on the moon as “The moon is mankind’s eternal light source. It has been illuminating and guiding us since the dawn of time. We observe the orb, whose trajectory gives rhythm to life.”

Across cultures and throughout history, the moon has been closely linked to femininity, mythology, and ritual. The moons monthly phases mirroring the natural cycles experienced by women. This shared rhythm is central to Lunar Harmony, which seeks to embody a vision of modern femininity. A key moment in the creative journey came at Highgrove Gardens, where she encountered a statue of the Goddess of the Woods. This inspired her to delve into the myth of Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, whose presence informed the narrative arc of the collection.
