Olivia Newton-John and high profile milliner and accessory designer, Kerrie Stanley have got together to create a stunning range of limited edition headbands to raise money for Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre Appeal.
$100 from each sale will be contributed to the Centre and Olivia has personally signed every one. She says; “I’m very thankful to Kerrie for producing this range and making such a significant contribution to the Cancer and Wellness Centre. The headbands are simply gorgeous”.
Kerrie chose to support the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre Appeal out of an immense appreciation for its emphasis on the connection between mind, body and spirit. She says; “I lost my father to cancer 12 years ago and I just have so much respect for the approach Olivia’s Centre is taking. I was keen to introduce headbands into my collection and saw the creation of this new line an opportunity to do something for a really good cause”.
The charity celebrity-signed collection consists of 100 hand-crafted headbands featuring sumptuous ribbons, buttons, netting and other vintage materials. No two pieces are the same so you’ll be getting something totally unique. Kerrie has taken her inspiration from 1920’s art deco styling and the result is chic sophistication translated via a burgeoning trend. Kerrie says; “I think we’re going to see a lot more headbands this racing season. Goodbye fascinator, hello headband! The great thing about headbands is that they’re so much more versatile than hats or fascinators. This collection is really designed as evening wear as much as race-wear”.
Kerrie has featured some of the more enduring colours from the Spring/Summer 09 palette in the range, including black, charcoal, red, purple and gold. Each headband is lined with felt which ensures it stays in place long after Cinderella’s pumpkin carriage has arrived.
The Kerrie Stanley charity celebrity-signed headband collection is available from 1st September 2009 at www.kerriestanley.com or from Melbourne stockist, That Perfect Day – 388 High Street, Armadale. Headbands are $230.
