Neil Grigg

Undoubtedly one of the most celebrated milliners of Australia who needs no introduction, is the fabulous Neil Grigg.  Neil Grigg is a master of his craft and I do have quite a few Grigg numbers in my millinery wardrobe.  One thing is for sure the on going list of A grade celebrities and also throw in royalty as well, then you know you are dealing with a master craftsman.  Neil's millinery is always a feature on the Australian Fashion on the Field circuit, but more importantly, takes most of the prizes!   Neil's work is always in a class of it's own, showing attention to detail and ingenious innovation.

Jonathan Howard Hatmaker

As soon as I saw that Jonathan had some new images up from his editorial work I knew I would have to indulge you in hat heaven.  The work and craftsmanship is brilliant and is such a wonderful Australian Talent.  I am so happy with every single one of my 'Jonathan' creations that if I don't feel like one of his hats, I am quite satisfied with one of his beautiful masks.  In a recent Autore pearl campaign, they ditched the dress and had the model naked as the mask took all the attention.   Amazing!!!

Some of these I know you have seen, but they are all fabulous images!
