John Paul Millinery's Page

Profile Information

About Me: After studying at Belfast’s Rupert Stanley College of Art & Design John Paul went on to forge a successful career as a leading floral designer, working throughout the UK and Ireland.

In 2009 John Paul’s original love for fashion broke through and he set up the John Paul label initially designing bespoke Millinery, an event marked by the opening of his own shop back in his home town of Derry ~ Londonderry, Northern Ireland. John Paul quickly built up a loyal following amongst the North West’s fashionable women, dressing them for Weddings as Mother of the Bride/Groom, Guests, for days at the races or other formal outings.
