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.


 Ciao for now.

Dale
