What better time to go full out on the adornment trend than at a wedding, a day at the races or that special someone’s birthday celebrations. To really complete your look a hand-made fascinator can really set you apart from the pack.
2adorn
2adorn is an inspired new fashion label featuring unique hand-made fascinators & headpieces by new & up-coming Australian designer, Kim Nguyen. 2adorn was created from a hobby and Kim’s passion for finding accessories that stand out from the crowd. Kim told LadyM Presents that she “believes in accessorising to give a simple or old outfit an instant lift”.
The Collections
The 2adorn collections are inspired by the Spring/Summer key catwalk trends; glamour, military and utility chic and pastels. They also take onboard a lot of the experiences and vistas that Kim explores on her travels round the world. ”I’m constantly seeing new cities and experiencing new cultures and every experience adds ideas and depth to my designs and collections”. Individually hand-made, with delicate and pretty trimmings including veil, pearls, textured flowers, soft feathers, sequin motifs, and lace to name a few.
Summer Glamour
Summer Glamour featuring bright, bold colours and floral designs. Being from Australia Kim loves ” the sunshine and outdoor events and these designs just brightens up any outfits just like the sunshine brightens up our moods.”

Blacks, Pastels, Ivory
Kim enthusiastically states “The Classic Black is Back… but of course it never left the runway! Not sure on which colour to wear? Black is always a versatile and safe option”. This summer is all about pretty, feminine tones, with the range featuring baby pinks, lilacs, lemons and pistachios. If your outfit speaks for itself but you want something to add that ‘wow factor’, try ivory to take a palette of more neutral colours that will suit almost any outfits.

Conclusion
Since 2005, Kim Nguyen’s headpieces have adorned Magazines, TV, Catwalks and Fashion shows, with recent interest from Tatler fashion editor, Hannah Teare, and as featured on Britain’s Next Top Model. Kim Nguyen’s headpieces are all hand-made and her 2adorn label is now widely stocked in Australia and the United Kingdom, and emerging elsewhere in Europe.
Combining the sumptuous colours of nature with the delicate motifs of ancient Vietnamese culture, Kim Nguyen’s unique pieces are delicate yet striking. Kim explained, “When designing, I usually take out a whole day uninterrupted so I can get in the ‘zone’ and start putting designs together in my head. In the process I pull out all the materials and colours that I want to work with and then start to build a design from there. I’m always full of ideas but many times it’s a lot easier to visualise than put together.”
What’s next for 2adorn?
2adorn will be launching the Autumn/Winter range shortly, which will have lots of fun and chic designs. The brand wants to encourage fashion enthusiasts to be more experimental with hair accessories and to include more and these items amongst all the jewellery, handbags and heels that we all have plenty of already!
