Description
Category 2: Novice Millinery - Eras and Icons
Eligibility
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 “Eras and Icons". We’re asking you to be inspired by the link between fashion, music and millinery over the decades. The lines of inspirations for this category could come from anywhere! You could be inspired by an artist, a designer, a song, a film, a colour palette - from the current decade or your favourite era of style. As usual, the theme is open to your interpretation, there is no right and wrong.
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 Novice Millinery Category by -
- Original Design
- Wearability
- Quality Workmanship
- Use of provided and additional materials
- Interpretation of the theme
