Materials market Tutor Alison Clark Tutors’ Challenge
“Originally I come from Saint Petersburg in Russia. I am now living 17 years in Adelaide. I have always loved fashion and art, and used to dress very fashionably when I was in Russia. When I came here, I noticed everybody dresses very casually, so I went looking for places where I could go dressed up and feel like a lady. As it turned out, the race track was the place to go to. With my outfits I often win prizes at the Fashions on the Field competitions. When I started visiting the races, I realised you have to wear a hat. At first I would buy them, but then it occurred to me that I have to learn how to make hats myself. I got so interested in millinery that it has now become a passion for me. This week I did the workshops ‘Perspex in Millinery’ by Carole Maher, ‘Light as a Feather’ by Cynthia Jones-Bryson and ‘Cutting Edges with Jinsin’ by Bonnie Evelyn. What I liked best is that the tutors showed me techniques to save time on finishes, without losing that quality look.”

workshops was put on display and participants could enter their own creations in the Fashion Parade to win one of the Fashions on the Field or Millinery Awards. The dress code for this day was ‘winter racewear’. One of the highlights here was the auction of the masterpieces created by the tutors at the Hatter’s Millinery Tutors’ Challenge the previous Sunday. As an added extra, milliners could sign up for a two-day masterclass on Monday and Tuesday, given by Vladimir Straticiuc from Spain or Edwina Ibbotson from the UK.
