Camille Roman creates 'innovative and sculptural' headwear out of rich, colorful fabrics under the label of TOUR DE FORCE. Roman beat over 500 entries to win the 2009 'Who Wants To Be A Millin-aire' competition, organized by the website Queens-Hat.com. Roman's selection was announced on June 18 at the Royal Ascot Race Track in the U.K., where it was Lady's Day 2009. Her black crochet lace hat won for originality as well as the skill that went into making it. Roman is pictured in the winning hat, left; her 'Blue Grapes' hat is below. She launched TOUR DE FORCE in 2008, shortly after graduating from Central St. Martins College of Art & Design in London (which has produced many famous fashion designers). Roman's hats are feminine, fun, and quite theatrical. I don't know where I'd wear them, but if nothing else, they're wearable art. How do you like them? Go to TOUR DE FORCE to see more. I discovered TOUR DE FORCE on the Fashion 156 Blog.
