Enza Geddes is the designer behind Melbourne’s tHAT Millinery, a brand that offers seasonal collections fusing traditional techniques with a high-fashion focus. Her whimsical Award entry is a masterclass in modern minimalism, with its coolly considered colour palette and clean lines.

Bringing a sense of fun to classical hat making techniques, crisp sinamay and pleated crinoline are expertly manipulated into a quirky-cool design. With Cézanne’s Still Life with Cherries and Peaches as inspiration, the finished product is both artistic and super chic, guaranteed to grab attention on race day.
