Phillip Rhodes

He cannot be surpassed and with signature millinery trademarks noticeable by a keen eye, you can see that we are looking at a milliner that is so devoted yet meticulous that not a hair can be out of place when wearing any of his masterpieces.
Every now and then I see a Phillip Rhodes Hat pass by me and immediately I think of how much money I have in each account for a purchase. Phillips hats are very reasonably prices in comparison to other millinery masters and have an edge of individuality and distinction.
I have recently just purchased one of these millinery marvels and I am so excited.
Whenever I receive a hat, I must admit I look over it like I have just purchased a new car, I look around it everywhere to see the work and how loved it is.
Not a stitch out of place. This hat is so brilliantly made that it is flawless. It is beautiful and masterfully handmade. Yet this is work not of a hatmaker but that of a milliner, sitting and stitching for hours.
I can say that this hat is so appreciated and not just a hat. I have many sitting in my hat room well approx 400, but this is something really special and needs extra special love. Thank you Mr Rhodes for creating something so beautiful in my eyes. Your work is beyond brilliant and I cannot wait to see your Spring Carnival Collection.

Jane Corbett Millinery

Need I say more, than another Jane after Jane Taylor graced our Australian Shores to showcase her technique and Royal Millinery, Jane Corbett Millinery yet another great favourite of HRH Duchess of Cambridge.
When I get crafty with my bits and bobs of sisal and sinemay, I then look at the amazing creations that are pure perfection and I see many inspirations of Millinery in Australia either been working with the amazingly talented Jane Corbett or Inspired.
These hats are beautifully crafted and have a personality of their own and belong with the very best of British as they have to be appreciated and cared for like children, as this craftsmanship is superb.
Easily seen in the beauty of the line and now to be stocked in Harrods 2014.
We all know the story of my experience in Harrods but alas if I end up at Royal Ascot this year I may just visit the Milliners rather than head to department stores.
Sublimely Perfect!
