Description
Category 3: Novice Millinery - Resort Glam
This category is open to any current student of millinery at an accredited source (e.g. TAFE students, community college students, online millinery courses, millinery workshops) or beginner who has not been awarded First Prize in Hattember or a similar award class in an equivalent Millinery competition. Those with an established commercial millinery enterprise are also not permitted to enter this category of the competition.
We are asking entrants in the Novice category to create a hat, headpiece or fascinator.
The prompt for this year's competition is “Resort Glam". We’re asking you to embody the Resort Wear woman - luxury, elegance and style in the summer months. The lines of inspirations for this category could come from anywhere! Think beach, swim, sun protection, natural fibres and relaxing in style. Create your dream vacation hat or embody Sophia Loren on the Italian Riviera - the theme as always is open to interpretation and can be determined as you see fit!
You will be provided with a curated bag of Millinery materials in which to create your entry from. Each of the items in the bag must be used, if only in part, to complete your submission. This year you are able to use any number of additional materials, as long as you still feature the materials provided.
The piece should be made to fit a head fit of 22.5 inches or 57cm.
Judges will determine the winner of the Novice Millinery Category by -
- Original Design
- Wearability
- Quality Workmanship
- Use of provided and additional materials
- Interpretation of the theme
