REVIEW
Chris Mullane Whitehaven Beach “I wanted the headpiece to showcase the shapes and colours but also the calm and uplifting feeling of this iconic beach. The asymmetrical shape of the brim
swiping up the crown represents the lapping of the water. This shape was created using blocks I made myself, using the techniques taught by Ian Bennett. To achieve the different turquoise colours created by the swirling sands, I hand- printed white sinamay with Procion dyes in a carefully thought-out pattern.”
Lisa Hughes Millinery Brighter Days “This joyful creation was a design I dreamed up to capture the sunny beauty of the daisy. The humble bloom brightened the designer’s springtime lockdown walks, its presence hinting at better times to come. The creation turns the flower on its head, creating a petite umbrella shape that frames the face. The piece is fixed to a white-bound wire headband, with a hand-dyed green stem the focal point of the look. It features my signature pom-pom detail which can be found tucked inside the petals, a hidden centre of gold for the wearer to enjoy.”

Velvet & Tonic Hope Blooms “I wanted to create a poetic piece that would portray my feelings at that particular point in time. It’s not the bright and colourful style I would normally go for this time of year. I was sad. This creation is a deprived heart, full of despair. It turned black from sadness. This virus has wreaked havoc on the life we loved. It yearns to be with loved ones, to beat wildly with excitement again. Although it is heavy and sad, it pumps hope out through veins and arteries. It stays strong, knowing that even in dark times flowers will still bloom.”
