The Bee Keeper Photo Shoot The Sunflower Hat Behind the scene photographs After months of preparation our photo shoot entitled The Bee Keeper took place. Having bought a jar of local honey from a bee keeper and a honeycomb the ideas of making hats for a photoshoot came flooding in within a few minutes. I quickly asked a friend of mine who is an amazing corsetiere to make a corseted dress. Lyndsey very quickly designed the most beautiful outfit.  The collaboration started 5 months ago, lots of ideas and lots of sewing. Yesterday we had the most enjoyable day in a Shawn's studio. Lyndsey preparing our model for the shoot. Love the expression of Giorgia's face. Our photographer Pasquale having a creative moment. Elegant Top Hat The top hat we made for our beautiful queen bee!

Cloche Hats Autumn/Winter Collection 2016/17 With a few of our favourite designs To have creative people around me continuously is wonderful. One of my very creative friends is Pasquale Vaira. As a photographer he loves to create an usual scene, his photographs tell a story, From weddings to fashion he loves to demonstrate his imagination through his images, which at times has no bounds. I enjoy designing hats for him to use in his work. Here are a few of the 1920's photos from his recent photo shoot at a disused railway station. If only the station could tell it's stories of life in the 1920's, There are probably some very interesting historical tales to tell! www.pazvaira.com Thank you Pasquale.

Stylish 1920's Blue Wool Felt Cloche  Photoshoot This photo was taken at a disused railway station. It is hard to imagine what it looked like 100 years ago but I would imagine very stylist ladies wearing very fashionable clothes and stylish accessories, which would have included a cloche hat, would have been waiting on the platform for their train to London. Thank you Pasquale Vaira for the lovely images. www.adriennehenrymillinery.co.uk

 My Lovely Hat! Simply Audrey! This is a very happy lady who had one of our bespoke hats handmade for her. When having a hat designed there are many factors to take into account. The overall appearance is important.  For a special occasion each part of the outfit should be taken into consideration, the dress for some is the starting point, for a few, it is the hat. If a client sees a design they particularly like, one which suits the shape of their face and isn't too large or too small, this is often a good starting point.  This hat, which suited Jean perfectly, was an easy choice. Black is a classic colour as is a black and white dress. If the colour suits you there is very little which can go wrong if everything else falls into place. www.adriennehenrymillinery.co.uk

Hat Making Courses A three day hat making course, An Introduction to Millinery, is proving a very popular course. Every month throughout this year we have had 3 day workshops, as a course is completed usually another is booked. There are lots of ladies interested in the art of hat making. I was delighted with my student this week. Her enthusiasm, concentration and hard work was amazing. The completed fascinator, headpiece and cocktail hats are beautiful. Both of us were delighted with the end result. Looking forward to my next course in September. For more information please look at our website www.hatmakingcourses.co.uk
