Growing up poring over articles about the British royal family and Royal Ascot in domestic yellow press ensured that I became familiar with the name Philip Treacy before my interest in fashion was even nascent. Years later, I've stumbled across my first Philip Treacy hat at a press day here in The Big Smoke - a hat that speaks to the (ample) part of myself revelling in all things pink and glittery no less. Although this one isn't a sculpture, I dare say Ascot would still be pleased to have it.
