During my week in France working alongside renowned milliner Tracy Chaplin, I refined my free-form techniques and explored new creative possibilities.
The ivory sinamay piece showcases my use of layered fabrics to achieve a sculptural, flowing effect that adds both interest and movement.
I particularly enjoyed experimenting with felt hoods, using the free-form method to craft the distinctive purple hat, which has an elegant, vintage charm reminiscent of Downton Abbey.
Finally, the red headpiece demonstrates dynamic shapes and sweeping swirls—an eye-catching design that would be perfect for a statement look at Royal Ascot.
