Gina Foster Milliner and The Goring Hotel Unveil Exclusive Hat Collection

London’s renowned Goring Hotel, famously known as the pre-wedding residence of Kate Middleton, has embarked on an exclusive fashion collaboration with esteemed milliner Gina Foster, a favorite among celebrities and Royals alike.

This unique collection features five exquisite fascinators and hats, each crafted with inspiration drawn from various facets of the hotel and its guests. One standout piece, named The Goring, is a floral bead masterpiece influenced by the elegant pink Swarovski crystal chandeliers adorning the hotel’s Dining Room. In contrast, the Victoria hat offers a more subtle elegance with its light blue hues, designed to complement the dreamy Damask Gainsborough silk found in Room 59.

Foster explained, “The collection was created with the Season in mind, especially Royal Ascot, which is a quintessentially English event, much like The Goring itself. Our hats are traditional yet have a modern twist. I drew particular inspiration from the stunning silks by the Gainsborough Silk Weaving Company used throughout the hotel’s rooms and suites. Additionally, the diverse personalities of the hotel’s guests, ranging from flamboyant to romantic to conservative, also influenced the designs.”

This collaboration not only highlights the intricate beauty and timeless appeal of traditional millinery but also celebrates the sophisticated charm and rich history of The Goring Hotel. Each piece in the collection is a testament to the elegance and cultural heritage that both The Goring and Gina Foster represent, making it a perfect addition to any fashion-forward event, especially those steeped in British tradition like the Royal Ascot.
