Great opportunity to see two great exhibitions and listen to panel discussion. Great price as well!
Posted @withregram • @yona.lesger Always wanted to hear from top costume designers? Renowned milliner Noel Stewart is set to host a panel discussion that delves into the intriguing intersection between millinery and costume design. This thought-provoking event will bring together multiple award winning costume designers:

- Hayley Nebauer (Black Cake; Doctor Who, The Musketeers)
- Liz Ascroft (Mother Goose, National Tour; Only Fools and Horses: The Musical, West End; Fawlty Towers Live, Australian Tour)
- Jenny Beavan OBE (A Room with a View; Mad Max: Fury Road; Cruella)

Join us on 14 October at the Hat Factory Luton for this exciting event. Many milliners are joining as part of the audience too so it's set to be a fantastic day! Book your tickets on the Culture Trust website.

Why not make a day of it and combine the discussion with a visit to Showtime for Hats and Hats Made Me? I will be giving a curator tour of Hats Made Me at 11am which is included for free in an exhibition ticket.

Very proud of my students who have their exhibition at Chelsea Centre at the moment and a new exhibition at the Hat Works 47 Guildford Street, Luton LU1 2NQ from 3 July- 5 August
The Morley Millinery students visited the Culture Trust and delved into the history of the Luton hat industry and had the opportunity to closely examine precious hats from the Trust's collection. This experience served as a rich source of inspiration for their own creations.

Under the guidance of their talented lecturers, Vesna Pesic and Sarah Lomax, the millinery students have meticulously researched hats and periods that ignited their creativity. They have explored specialist materials, techniques, and processes, paying special attention to working with sustainable materials and adopting sustainable practices. This dedication to sustainability aligns with the fashion industry's growing focus on environmentally-responsible approaches.

Hats Made Me…Inspired showcases the students’ exceptional craftsmanship, historical influences, and commitment to sustainability. Through their unique creations, they pay homage to the thriving contemporary hat culture while adding their own innovative twists.

Also open on Saturday 15th July 2023 and Saturday 5th August 2023. Check for other weekend dates. Thank you @yona.lesger for giving these new talents a chance to shine

To coincide with WOW!house 2023, members of The British Hat Guild @britishhatguild have created an installation of one-of-a-kind pieces that interpret each of the room schemes, using the designers' moodboards and sketches as their starting point.
Each hat is a unique crossover with interior design, and a wonderful example of how artistry can cross-pollinate across different creative disciplines. Timed to coincide with Royal Ascot, this marvellous millinery adds another layer of discovery for visitors to WOWlhouse 2023 @designcentrech . #vesnahats headpiece for @talafustokstudio 1930s Breakfast Cocktails on the Moon

Posted @withregram • @morley_college Vesna Pesic

Posted @withregram • @morley_college Vesna Pesic is a #millinery artist and educator bringing years of experience in fashion to her practice. @vesnahats is dedicated to crafting poetical handmade headpieces that often lie between #art and #fashion. She is concerned with questioning the traditional use of materials and the accepted concepts of beauty. Her work is underpinned by historical research into hats as status symbols. Vesna’s creative process consists of meditative practice that is open to possibilities and free of predeterminations. By continually using offcuts or repurposed materials, her creative process has an additional constraint, that informs sustainable design development.

Vesna seeks to express complex thought through abstract forms, continuously pursuing to break the illusions and reveal the truth. She creates sculptural pieces by mixing traditional millinery craftsmanship with other disciplines.

Vesna is an enthusiastic and approachable educator who loves to encourage all to explore their creativity with confidence and self-belief.

Posted @withregram • @braintumourrsch Vesna Pesi

Posted @withregram • @braintumourrsch Vesna Pesic studied at the University of Arts London and perfected her skills at the renowned Stephen Jones Millinery. During this time she created hats for celebrity clients and members of the royal family, whilst also creating pieces for his collections as well as collaborations with designers such as John Galliano, Mark Jacobs and Donna Karan among many other well-known names.
Vesna creates the most stunning pieces, which question the traditional use of materials and the accepted concept of beauty. Her designs are abstract, and mix a variety of material with millinery craftsmanship and other disciplines.

We are delighted Vesna has chosen to donate one of her beautiful creations to our auction. Inspired by the hats Queen Elizabeth II wore in the 50s featuring feathers, this creation is named Height of Fashion after the late Queen’s horse.
Vesna said “This jaunty one-off piece has been delicately made with hand-cut and hand-stitched feathers on a hand blocked base. It is adorned with a handmade haircalf leather flower with a polished coated edge. Hand-stitched satin bind and blocked lining finish off the piece. It took many days of meticulous work for the hat to look like it only appeared.”
