An interview with Ailie Miller from Dollie Vardin Millinery in Auckland City, Auckland, New Zealand.
Some highlights from the interview:
Ailie started as a milliner 30 years ago after reading a book on how to renovate old hats into cocktail hats.
A “great hat” embodies a simple style, not stiff, a good angle and colour blend.
The trends for Summer 2009 in New Zealand (the Winter time in the Northern Hemisphere) will be a softer brim, stronger crown and a continuation of a fondness for men’s styles, particularly the Trilby. Favoured colours will be cobalt blue, purple, orange, yellow and green. This information on colour trends came from Europe so likely we will see much of the same here in the Northern Hemisphere in our summer.
There were some other pieces of hat wisdom in the interview including advice to use dramatic eye make up when wearing your best hat. Enjoy the video!
