I love to enter design awards. I enjoy the whole creative process to meet the design brief and try out new ideas. I also love seeing all the other fabulous entries and the creativity of other milliners.

HAT NAME: Equipoise
ARTIST STATEMENT (approx. 80 words)
Competition theme 'Counter Balance'
Embrace an easy elegance centered around self-expression and individuality, and also defined by its versatility as saleable headwear. The opposing forces are equal and matched together to create a polished sheen on all materials used. Plus, who doesn’t love to introduce a splash of color with frayed edges of pinokpok to give a raw and somewhat ragged look to the design also counter balances the smooth surface and curves reflected on the upturned saucer, bandeau and base. Equipoise is easy to re-style in the trimming to portray another unique look.
MATERIALS USED:
Vintage Swiss Straw, French canvas, plastic reed, millinery wire, stiffener, pinokpok, stretch elastic, threads to match, bond-a-web.
