About Elena Kornienko

Elena is an award-winning milliner and the creative force behind SilkyFlora. She completed her Certificate IV in Millinery at TAFESA in 2021, where she was honoured as the Best Millinery Student of the Year. Her dedication to design and craftsmanship earned her a place in the Top 10 of the Design Award competition in 2022, and she was awarded Best Millinery Exhibit at the Royal Adelaide Show the same year.

Elena specialises in creating unique and exquisite headpieces for special occasions, blending traditional millinery with the delicate art of Japanese silk flower making. Her passion for the Somebana technique led her to Japan, where she completed two certificates from the renowned Somebana School.

Committed to continuous learning, Elena regularly attends advanced millinery masterclasses to refine her skills and stay at the forefront of her craft. Each creation under the SilkyFlora brand reflects her eye for detail, love for tradition, and dedication to wearable art.
