At the Berkeley Dress Show 2012 we were privileged to work with marvellous Royal milliner John Boyd, with the debs modelling his fabulous pre-Ascot hats at the House of Lords. I was so excited and curious about my own hat for the evening and for all of us it was a treat to wear such exquisite millinery confections! Mr Boyd and his team were incredibly lovely and he also has a fantastic eye for matching a hat to a girl, taking in their face shape and personality.

All the hats have an intrinsic timeless elegance to them.They are striking in design and also very fun, making them an utter delight to wear. Thank you so much to John Boyd and his team for letting us model such magnificent creations.
