Presenting, The $1,475 Flower Crown

ADVERTISEMENT
You can argue that the accessory of the summer wasn't the Birkenstock or even the cronut, but instead the ubiquitous floral crown that made every moment feel like a music festival. Whether you DIY your own or buy a more durable version, it's a fun, cheap way to get you looking like a regular Titania, even if you're in a parking lot somewhere in Brooklyn. However, If you're hitting a music festival in some shah's palace and need something a bit more luxe, now you've got an option, too.
Presenting, the Dolce & Gabbana headband that's retailing right now on Net-A-Porter for $1,475. Made with "white cotton and [a] silk-blend headband" and "finished with exquisite flower, leaf, and fruit details," it's a headpiece that'll dress your noggin while simultaneously giving yourself a headache. Maybe the way-inflated price is a product of Dolce & Gabbana's recent sticky financial situation, in which they have to make up around $454 million in fines. But in any case, it's hard to imagine where the extra $1,450 comes into play when it comes to a white cotton headband with silk flowers. Maybe the lace was woven by Kylie Minogue herself? Perhaps the silk flowers were gathered from the nightstand of a real Medici? Or maybe it's a piece or social commentary on the commodification of community and the use of pastoral imagery to romanticize forms of non-mediated connection. (Or, you know, Anna Della Russo needs something new to wear to this Fashion Week — cameras at the ready!).
