In contrast to the spirit of de rigueur minimalism that defines the current aesthetic sensibility, Elizabeth Hayt's work draws on an effusive more-is- more philosophy. She handcrafts precisely conceived, elegant yet extravagant designs, weaving together elaborate compositions and material finery, from metallic brocade to glittery tulle to Swarovski crystals to vintage millinery plumes. Her work evokes the spirit of the baroque and archly feminine ornamentation.
