Description
Hattember Millinery Category - Paradox and Illusion
For this year’s competition we are asking entrants to create a hat, headpiece or fascinator. As always, we are looking for an innovative and high quality piece of Millinery that aligns with our provided theme.
The prompt this year is “Paradox and Illusion”. For this year we have chosen a wide ranging theme asking you to deal with ideas of contrast, contradictions and perception vs. reality - think optical illusions, trickery, opposing colour schemes, Trompe-l'oeil and light and shade. As usual in the Hattember competition, this is a really broad theme and we would love to see how you choose to interpret it!
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. You are able to use any number of additional materials, as long as you still feature and highlight 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 category by -
- Original Design
- Wearability
- Quality Workmanship
- Use of provided and additional materials
- Interpretation of the theme
