What a lovely night celebrating creativity and couture at the Millinery Australia Design Award Gala held at The Bank on Collins in Melbourne. The annual gala showcased stunning handcrafted millinery and honoured the exceptional work of both established and emerging milliners, with awards presented across categories such as Design Award, Student Award, People’s Choice, Patron’s Pick and Photographer’s Favourite under the theme Celebration.

Lauren wore a Jacquard version of Vogue 2044, lovingly sourced from Longan Craft created by Two Sewing Sisters, paired with a Lauren J Ritchie Millinery purple Rae halo.
We had a wonderful evening bringing together industry peers, enthusiasts and creatives to recognise craftsmanship, innovation in the local millinery industry.
