About the event

Millinery Australia is proud to host a Gala Evening showcasing innovative design and handcrafted millinery from our fellow and student members.

Lovers of millinery and fashion will have a fantastic opportunity to view work by established and emerging milliners in a unique, historic venue.

This year’s Design Award theme is ‘ENCHANTED’

The Student Award theme is ‘CURIOSITY’

Come and celebrate at the premier millinery event of the year as we announce the winners of the Design Award and Student Award, along with the recipients of the ‘Jonesy’, People’s Choice and Photographer’s Pic.
