My millinery is wearable art.
Conceptual,
completely bespoke, handmade designs change with each new vision. The
styles created can be described as avant-garde, edgy, eccentric,
whimsical…
Fanciful
and freakish materials are what I seek out then reconstruct using
freestyle handling, guaranteeing completely unique shapes. Most often I
upcycle and constantly experiment with new techniques.
I am a maker not a designer.
Taking inspiration from many themes, vintage and gothic seem to reoccur. I do
not follow convention, I cannot draw and never get round to doing a mood
board.
As
an emerging milliner (year two of making) I am always looking for new
connections so actively pursue collaborations with other artists and
designers from all disciplines.
I follow slow-fashion not trends.
Individuality
is my most important ethos. People want to discuss the hats I make.
Those with commissioned pieces relay back tales of attention received
when wearing it.
The
art of millinery is in my blood and under my skin. I do not make a
living from it. If you are interested in a commission or keen to
collaborate on a project, do get in touch.
Genuinely love to hear from you.
