Cherished clients,
For the first time ever millinery was included as a stand
alone parade in the 2008 Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival in
Brisbane - and what a show stopper it was!
In fact, Brisbane Times’ photo of Patricia Balmer’s
stunning headpiece (see below) had the most hits of the week!
The Hat Box parade exceeded everyone’s expectations.
Helping to make the show look so good was the gorgeous cocktail
frocks supplied by The Mask in the Broadway on the Mall. Thank
you to their lovely staff for making my job a lot easier.
We really do have some of the best milliners in the world
and they proved it beyond question at this year’s Festival.
In the past The Hat Box has provided hats for Bora, Grbac,
Pia du Pradal, Tengdahl, et al, but this year’s parade
gave 12 of my amazingly talented milliners the opportunity
to cut loose and shine in their own right – and they
did.
I am so proud of them all – the hats were quite different
from each other and all of them were sensational. They are
now taking pride of place in the front window and have attracted
a good deal of attention from everyone who passes by. Here
they are for you to admire - thanks to Michelle Smith, Brisbane
Times photographer.
