Wayne Wichern Millinery

Just as Summer sizzles us in Australia with searing sun, Wayne Wichern gives us brilliant examples of his felt hats that are beyond perfection wanting us to head into Winter just to sport his felt creations. I am not saying that I am not in absolute awe of his straw masterpieces, as the finish on his sisal is perfection as well. You can see the workmanship in these examples shows years of mastery in Millinery and the knowledge of the medium of how it is going to react. Truly in love with this Millinery Master.

Hats from Designer Awards on Melbourne Cup Day

Here are some of my favourite hats that were worn on Melbourne Cup Day, 'Designer Awards'. It was hard to get totally fabulous shots, but they will be coming on the main site when they arrive through. My professional photographer had centre front, but just had to share a few of my favourites which included, Studio Aniss, Liza Steadman, Jo-Anne Rolf, Richard Nylon and Rebecca Share just to name a few. I delight in having the honour to being able to photograph and film these ladies during carnival and always just hope to bring you the colour and life that I enjoy.

Richard Nylon

A name that is synonymous with Millinery and also Melbourne is the fabulous Mr Richard Nylon who is not only a Millinery Master but also a wonderful person with a warm heart. Richard is a self taught Milliner not having been taught formerly which shows how amazing his work is and that he has learnt through using the fabrics how they manipulate and block.
Although Richard may not have had formal training, you can see his brilliance in design and a true master of his craft with wit in every piece. I love his work and love to see his personality brought to life on peoples head.
Not only an Icon of the Millinery world yet a Melbourne Icon who is treasured. There are just not enough of these characters of Melbourne or any city who give so much of their personality to their city and trade. Totally in love with this man and his amazing craft. Thank you Richard for just being your fabulous self. x

Tolentino Haute Hats of Spain

Of course when you see these images you will be in heaven. These hats are so beautifully crafted and attention to detail is sublime. I have never been to Spain, but heading to Europe later in 2015 I am thinking I may have to have a day where I stop off and meet these amazing Milliners.
Ever since throwing myself into the world of Millinery, the name 'Tolentino' has meant pure exquisite Master Millinery. Every piece is so delicately made and just so individual.
There are so many fantastic talented Milliners in the world, but Tolentino would have to be there with favourites of mine. I cannot pick one piece over another that I like more. Just enjoy the beauty of their work. I would also like to thank Tolentino, for always keeping Racing Fashion FB page always up to date with what they are working on. We love it. x
