My first encounter with Cherry Chau was on Oxford Street in London, in the wonderland of Selfridges. I was thirteen years old, and the Parisian designer's whimsical hair pieces looked like what I'd imagined Hermia to wear in her hair in Shakespeare's, A Midsummer Nights Dream. Trite, but Chau's pieces are candy for the eyes. She utilizes sequins, semi-precious stones, leather, feathers, flowers, butterflies, and tulle, but produces something of beauty and lightness through restraint. Cherry herself describes her work to ‘enable a woman to express her personality and transform her moods!’ and her own attitude to be 'happy-go-lucky' :) My Cherry Chau hot pink flower barette certainly made me feel happy-go-lucky from the time I was thirteen, until my twenties when it went missing in my dorm room at college... Fortunately, my love affair with Cherry Chau's pieces will be revived when I visit her boutique in the trendy district of Le Marais in Paris this June!
