Laurence Bossion's diary, chapter 7
At Laurence, we decided to kill two birds with one stone and wish you a very happy holiday season and a wonderful 2026.
But at Laurence Bossion, parties don't just shine: they wear hats! In her workshop, which has been awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) label, the designer creates a delightful collection of mischievous fascinators, sparkling headdresses, and hats that have the power to transform any New Year's Eve party into a memorable event.
Whether you want to brighten up a Christmas dinner, make a splash on New Year's Eve, or simply add that little extra something, Laurence Bossion hats are the perfect accessory. And unlike short-lived accessories that are forgotten by January, these are made to last: high-quality materials, meticulous craftsmanship, repairable and reusable season after season. Giving a Laurence Bossion hat is giving a gift that never ends, a guaranteed smile, a touch of festivity and magic that can be worn as much as it can be kept.
Made of deep velvet, this fascinator evokes the hushed elegance of a castle salon, perfect for a New Year's Eve party where candles reflect in antique mirrors.
Black but shaped like a heart, this fascinator is the perfect accessory for a daring Parisian evening at the opera, the theater, or a Michelin-starred restaurant, exuding mystery and couture spirit.
Between rare crystal and mysterious flower, this head ornament can cause a sensation in the tropics or in the mountains. Sunny or mineral, the colorful look of this headdress promises you a flamboyant New Year's Eve wherever you are.
This headband inspired by the Roaring Twenties evokes the spirit of Gatsby, ideal for a sparkling New Year's Eve party where retro elegance meets festivity and panache.
Resolutely modern, this lightweight headband can be worn naturally during an evening out in a European capital, perfect for strolling through the streets, sitting in front of fireworks, and pairing freely with any outfit.
Laurence memories
"One day, someone ordered a hat shaped like a Medici vase. Yes, a real Medici vase, to wear on your head."
He was a very special client: one of France's leading sociologists, extremely brilliant and highly cultured. He had discovered me by chance and had made it a habit to come every year, one month before New Year's Eve on December 31.
His ritual was always the same: he would spend several hours in my workshop, sometimes an entire afternoon, choosing the materials for the hat he would give his wife for the New Year's Eve costume ball. He didn't rush anything. He compared, touched, and thought. That year, he wanted a Medici vase, decorated with the theme of the four seasons using colors and materials. Nothing less.
We talked about textures and symbols, but also about society, traditions, and what it means to "show off" at a ball. He particularly enjoyed dressing up his wife, whom he considered a true muse. More than a gift, it was an act of love. He even insisted on using the small pendants from a broken chandelier to make frost crystals. He was incredibly dedicated, almost studious. In the end, this hat became much more than an accessory: it was a conversation piece, a statement, and above all, a gift thought out down to the smallest detail. It's orders like these that remind me of the immense pleasure I get from creating unique hats.
