Lace Bunny Ears

Maison Michel's recent lace bunny ears have been the hottest thing since sliced bread.

Seen often on popular models, actresses, and singers, the lace bunny (and cat) ears aren't just for playboy bunnies anymore. They were made commonly well-known by Lily Allen. Since 1936, the Michel brand has been making exquisite hats and headwear for the rich and talented. Auguste Michel was the first hatmaker for the brand, closely followed by Pierre Debard. The brand specializes in the most gorgeous and hard to find ideas while still creating wearable garb. In the 70's Yves Saint Laurent caught on the the marvelous brand and fell in love with the designs. In the 80's Dior, Nina Ricci and Givenchy just fawned over the design boards in the Michel house. Almost a century before Pierre Debard died in 2003, Chanel took over the brand and helped the success broaden over many countries. They have recently opened up their first Maison Michel distribution in Paris. See the many shows Maison Michel hats have appeared in here.

A friend of mine is having a party in which we are supposed to wear something on our heads, and I thought that the lace ears would be the perfect thing! Since I absolutely love the ears and am not willing to spend the time, money, and effort to find and buy the ears, I just decided to make them. (It seemed simple enough). There are many DIY sites out there illustrating in full detail how to make your own lace bunny ears, but I just winged it and designed my own way.

I am also taking special orders to make more if anyone wants them. I had so many supplies left over from the headband making session. If so, email me at arieljohnsonc@gmail.com and we can work something out.
