Profile Information

I Love Hats Because?: I was introduced to Hats and Hat couture by an Auntie of mine who gave me some books and vintage hats at an early age. Too young to appreciate it at the time, it still must have planted the seed to a blooming love for the craft as I have grown up admiring Hats for about 10 yrs now and it's only getting stronger! Thank you, Auntie!

About Me: Make Up & Hair Artist in Los Angeles who has been dabbling in Millinery for about 6 yrs. Mostly lean towards Burlesue and Victorian Styles in the past but would love to learn how to hat block for Mens Hats and more 30's & 40's Womens Hats which is more my style when going out!
