Just when we thought smocking was part of our past, Melbourne milliner Emily Minikem introduces smocking in millinery using one of newer millinery components – Tinalak. The grain of Tinalek and Silk Abaca lend themselves to smocking. Classic styling inspires Emily but she is always able to add the contemporary twist as seen in this striking blocked headpiece. With her ability to design all aspects of the outfit Emily’s Cup Day was styled with a unique swing skirt of hand dyed silk and kimono appliqué.  Meticulous detail from head to two is Emily’s greatest attribute with all her fashion designing and her clients appreciate the custom design service she offers.
