Sylvia Fletcher is one of London's leading milliners. Her collections can be found exclusively at Royal Warrant Holders James Lock & Co, St James Street, London. Her distinctive and stylish hats are worn by many celebrities and members of the Royal Family. Throughout her career her creations have complemented the collections of Paul Costelloe, Stella McCartney, Bruce Oldfield, Prada, Anna Valentine, and many more and have appeared regularly in the fashion press, including Cosmopolitan, Tatler and Vogue. Sylvia is also a poet and writer, and her approach is best described in her poem Two Passions: 'Two passions intertwine. A tangle of fantasies. I make no attempt to unravel them. They burn together like small coals. Sparking my imagination'. Headfirst contains an amalgam of couture milinery, poetry (both humorous and romantic) and prose. Partly biographical, the book gives an insight into the eccentric world of hats with just a touch of fantasy.
