AUDREY DOHERTY MILLINERY for the Discerning Fashionista!

I discovered Millinery while studying Fashion & Textile Design and continued my training at Kensington & Chelsea College, the premier college in London for learning the time honored techniques of Couture Millinery and also Theatrical Millinery. Prior to graduating I underwent internships with Suzanne Cooper Accessories, and Pip Hackett where I learned valuable skills not only in hat and accessories making but participating in 'trade' and 'direct to the public' events, sourcing materials and valuable business skills. Before I had completed my studies I had participated in a major Wedding Fayre at the Savoy Hotel, independent fashion and Bridal boutiques were stocking my designs and I was undertaking bespoke work for private clients. My show-space was located in Hampstead Antique & Craft Emporium where clients could buy my 'ready to wear' designs and place bespoke orders. My clients included brides, Jewish ladies who were obliged to wear hats to synagogue, fashion designers, stylists, actors and actresses, fashion students and my youngest customer was a 14 year old girl visiting from US. One of my better known work was to re-create the model Jordans wedding tiara for Matt Lucas Little Britain photo spread in Heat Magazine. The tiara was then worn by Big Brothers Lisa in OK Magazine and Channel 4's Star Stories. I love teaching Couture Millinery - I run my own courses and I facilitate workshops in schools and for community and womens groups. In my 'other life' I am involved in the entertainment industry in Arabic dance and Carnival/Street spectacle as a dancer, performer, event organizer, and as a designer/maker. I love cats, collecting stamps and coins and original art!
