Noel Stewart Millinery

I love the tradition of Milliner in it's most raw form of starting the canvas.  When presented with the look on Noel Stewart Millinery for Hussein Chalayan, this exciting and showing that hat are now and on trend.  I cannot wait to see this Spring in Australia these amazing hats make their way to our shore.
To see the construction of traditional millinery by such a master to be incorporated with the modern soft perspex is taken to a new level.  He have all seen the perspex and it has been fun with the Neon Hard clutch purse taking centre stage in Fashions on the Field last year during Melbourne Cup Carnival.
I remember the perspex visor that I wore as a child during the 70s with the cheap plastic around the visor for the beach bringing a bluer hue to the already deep blue sky of Australia.
Noel Stewart has not only hit the nail on the head when summing up Millinery in our time and having a hat of right now, how impressive!  Tasteful, yet a brilliant point of view where we are using nature and craftsmanship of then brought forward today at the front looking through the perspex.  I love your perspective Noel Stewart and your incorporation with Hussein Chalayan is brilliance!

Hussein Chalayan is such a wonderful direction for fashion, and I loved his collection approximately 5 years ago where a plastic moulded  car was warped around a models body.  Where do find these hats in Australia??  Are these two artistic genius telling us to speed up or slow down???  Or are they simply pointing out where we are in fashion right now.  Neither Here Nor There.
