Profile Information

About Me: A graduate of Certificate II, III and IV Headwear/Millinery at Sydney Institute of TAFE, Ultimo Leeanne has been a milliner since 2008.

Her work has been displayed in France in the Musee du Chapeau in Lyon and her hats and headpieces have been sold in galleries and boutiques in Queensland and New South Wales.

Her collaborations with Brisbane designer Tia Carrigan since 2009 have garnered much attention being placed First Runner Up 2009, Top 10 2010 and Winner in 2011 Design Award at Fashions on the Field at Flemington. This has resulted in her designs being showcased in print and online including The Courier Mail, Herald Sun, The Hat Magazine and Fashion & Flemington.

Now based in Brisbane, Leeanne’s designs are fashion-forward with a strong focus on colour and line to create a dramatic and unique look.

A hand crafted signature range is released in September, just in time for Spring Racing Carnival.
