REVIEW Millinery Award entrants


tHAT Millinery - Enza


Geddes “With a lengthy amount of time on my hands, a vivid


colour palette of sinamay, pleated crinoline and Paul Cézanne’s ‘Still Life with Cherries and Peaches’ as a starting point, I share with you the outcome: my 2021 Myer Millinery Award entry. Having a minimal mindset, I put two cherries on this plate, just large enough to evoke fantasy and show my preoccupation with whimsy, using unusual visual angles and inclusion of movement to accomplish the result I desired.”


Helen Rose Millinery - Helen Wilkinson “The piece was inspired by somebana silk flower making, a technique I studied in Japan over five years ago. I chose the iris because it’s a classic flower which is not commonly used in millinery. It represents faith, hope and courage; I think we all need a little bit of that at the moment. It was made from Japanese silks, hand-painted by myself.”


Catherine Storm Millinery 5K Blues


“‘5K Blues’ explores living with Melbourne’s 5km from home restriction. Over the many weeks of lockdown, we circled our local neighbourhood, taking different paths on our daily walk. Living close to the beach meant our walks were enlivened by a changing variety of birdlife. Seeing the birds in flight lifted our spirits.”


Lauren J Ritchie “My piece is a shape that floats across the face offering a playful mystery to the wearer. It has shaped tails that move around the face and dance into the sky. The sweeping shape embraces and reflects the undulating landscape of the countryside near Laceby and the graduated edges provide a delicate and gentle finish.”
