Many people ask me about my favourite Milliner and always when talking to people the likes of Stephen Jones and 'Hatmaker' Philip Treacy come to mind, but there are so many different Milliners with different aesthetics, you can really not pinpoint one that you adore more than another due to their talent. Eugenie van Oirschot is one of these people that to me is one of the finest headwear makers I have the pleasure to know. Her keep eye for precision and mathematical engineering genius takes her hats to a level of constructive art for the head.
I was first introduced to Eugenie's artistry when Kim Fletcher told me about a class she had taken and shown me a hat where she had weaved the dupion covered plastic and it was magnificent.
When hearing about this method I was excited to see more of Eugenie's work. I think I must be one of Eugenie's biggest fans, and during the 2014 International Millinery Forum I had the pleasure of being a student in her class learning the art of sequence.
It was very testing for me, not having a mathematical mind, but the hat turned out ok. I am so grateful for the loan of her hats to sport on course at Flemington on Oaks Day last year as well as this year. 'Phoenix' is a hat that is so beyond belief even mere racegoers that know nothing about hats and only there for the racing were inquiring and asking about it. I am so appreciative and grateful to Eugenie and I want all to know of her Millinery skill and Art form.
