My millinery journey began in 2019 with a placement at Edwina Ibbotson Couture Millinery, an experience that laid the foundation for my passion in the craft. I was fortunate to return in 2024, stepping into a more hands-on and retail-focused role. During my time there, I was involved in the intricate process of making bespoke headwear, from shaping and finishing to embellishment, gaining valuable insight into couture-level craftsmanship. I also had the opportunity to engage directly with clients by managing deliveries to places such as Vogue and helping out with shop activities which deepened my understanding of both the creative and commercial sides of millinery.
