Millinery Australia’s Design Award showcases innovative design and high-quality millinery skills. This year’s theme for the competition was “Ruffled”.
My piece took inspiration from watching the wind “ruffle” the surface of the ocean, causing the water to move gently in a wave-like motion at my favourite beach, Freshwater.


I created a number of wave like shapes out of wire and leno and covered them with a sparkling blue crepe, which I then beaded crystals to recreate the glistening rays of the sun as it catch the waves at different angles.
