2026 Gala Evening

About the event

Join Millinery Australia at the premier millinery event of the year!

We are proud to host an exclusive Gala Evening showcasing innovative design and professional, handcrafted millinery from our fellow and student members.

This will be a fantastic opportunity for lovers of millinery and fashion to view the work of established and emerging milliners in a unique and historic venue.

The theme for this year’s Design Award is ‘ENCHANTED’

The theme for the Student Award is ‘CURIOSITY’

Come and join the celebrations as we announce the winners of the Design Award and Student Award, along with the ‘Jonesy’, People’s Choice and Photographer’s Pic winners.
