Monika Fine Millinery's Page

Profile Information

About Me: I am Monika Stebbins.
I've been a milliner for over 20 years now.

I make hats, I consult and I teach millinery.

I studied millinery in Germany with millinery masters Christel Glock and Richard Lang and later took a master class in England, with Stephen Jones and Shirley Hex.
In my studio in Madison, NJ, USA, I design and create my hats. All my hats are handmade, from fine materials, with traditional and modern millinery techniques.
My hats are available directly from my studio; in select stores, at trunkshows (the "travelling hatshop") and at select shows.
Each season, I create new designs, mostly limited editions, a few pret-a-porter-level small series with a theme, and select couture-level pieces (my follies).

Much of what I make is custom work, created for a certain client, to match an outfit or to be the perfect accessory for an event.
