About Forest Flame /Media Feature
All Forest Flame's hats, fascinators and hair pieces are designed and handcrafted by Mandy. By day,
she teaches at a secondary school. Her day job keeps her very busy on weekdays and so she
spends every minutes of her free time (usually on Sunday and during school holidays) is spent on
designing and making new fascinators. Forest Flame designs are influenced by old Hollywood movies
starlets, epitomes of glamour and timeless elegance. Her designs can be quirky, romantics
sometimes. Most importantly, Mandy loves textures and likes to incorporate feathers and fabric roses
in many of her designs.
