Derby Day, Black and White Hats from Racing Fashion

You all know I have been AWOL for a while and I apologise,
With the passing of my most beautiful friend 'Paris Kyne, Master Milliner' I felt it hard to post anything about anyone else as I adored him.
I am so lucky my husband understands the relationships I have with many people.  It is a love and a love and appreciation for what they do.  I love my husband, children and family with all my heart, but I have so much love for others and what they bring to the world.
Unfortunately, Milliners don't make huge amounts of money and are often starving artists.
Out of respect I just needed to get Spring Racing Carnival this year out of the way before I could begin to think of talking about other Milliners.

Melbourne Millinery Rock Stars

Last night Kangan Institute hosted a wonderful Soiree with the title, everything ballet.
How classically wonderful!

Most of the time when I mention milliners to my friends who have no idea of what I do as I just often tell people I am in I.T. people have no idea of what a milliner is or that alone what they do and the construction of a hat.

This is where I love to appreciate and learn more about the craft so I can better speak about it.

Last night at Kangan Institute there were not only a marvelous array of talented up and coming milliners with fantastic perspectives and love for the craft their were also my millinery rock stars, that are my pin up people.  I will just let you know, that I think you are all so wonderfully talented and I really appreciate everything you make and the love of all things hats.  Your brilliance shines through and through.

I cannot wait until Spring and now that I have had a taste, I want to see more and more hats.  All the photos will be online shortly so please stay posted on www.racingfashion.com.au

When I hear the word Soiree, I know that Paris Kyne must be a part of this somewhere, but there will be the most well respected tutors, and such a wonderful delight of millinery to see.  I will enjoy taking photos and reporting all the fantastic craftsmanship that comes from this event.

Paris Kyne, 'The Bad Boy of Millinery!'


Is Paris Kyne really the bad boy of the millinery world???

I say not, although I did love fashionchannel.com.au interview with him about his latest collection.
Something that Paris Kyne promises is master craft skills and brilliant design, now I will not call him eccentric, I would call it fabulous where he almost is always seen with a hat and love his encrustation head wear.

I have been really disappointed being in FNQ not being to get to the exhibition that is welcoming Melbourne's Elite, (Australia's Fashion Capital) at Crown Promenade Hotel.
Paris's work boasts an array of brilliant wire work and my favourite piece that seems to take over the craw fish, the Mohawk.


That will give us inspiration for the Roman Empire this Spring Carnival.




A big thank you to Paris for putting up his hand to ask can the fascinator please be put to rest. It is not a milliner or hat makers favourite word, in fact, any milliner worth their salt would hate one of their pieces to be called a fascinator. A fascinator exists with a glue gun, a few feather, a piece of elastic with a cheap $5 piece of circle fodder. Let us not even get started on the Hatinator!
