Cocktail Party venue confirmed

I am extremely excited to announce that the cocktail party and official opening of the International Millinery Forum will be held at beautiful Borambola Wines. This venue was selected for its spectacular country appeal and views. The majestic homestead stands high on a foothill overlooking the Snowy Mountain foothills in one direction and the rich plains of the Murrumbidgee in the other. The homestead is surrounded by gracious gardens and of course the delicious grapes. Visit the website and see for yourself how perfect this venue is www.borambola.com

Hong Kong milliner Jaycow to offer exclusive workshop


The IMF is extremely excited to announce that Hong Kong milliner Jaycow will be offering ONE exclusive workshop at the 2009 International Millinery Forum. See below for full details.

Tuesday 20 January 2009
4pm – 7pm
Wagga High School
Fee: $90.00

Headbands with Style
Beginner-Advanced

As a milliner working in Hong Kong, a place where wearing hats is not a common practice, Jaycow had to find a way of getting her creations on people's Head’s!
She came up with headbands....to sneak up on the ladies.
Headbands are an accessory item that almost all people are familiar with and something that milliners can still apply their skills.
In this workshop participants will jump the fence of millinery materials and give headbands a new face lift. Using readymade headbands and a different view on materials, fun and contemporary headbands can be a new version of fashionable millinery.
Jay will have a goodie box with materials such as fancy cords, buckles , crystals , beads and even a curling iron for everyone to whip up something fun and funky.


As a hat lover, Jaycow has always had a thing for finding beautiful hats.
From a nice fitting newsboy cap to a hand blocked fedora, she beams with joy whenever she finds a gem. Working simply as a stylist wasn’t enough for Jaycow anymore. So why not make hats? So she dropped everything, packed her bags, flew to London and learned millinery at the London College of Fashion, as well as from Royal Milliner Rose Corey. Now, Jaycow is a combination of milliner/stylist. With her cut and sew collection, her styling skills are in full swing. Not only does she put together interesting fabric combinations for her designs, she also hand decorates them with love.
Jaycow’s hats are not for people who have bad hair days. They are for hat lovers who have wit, humour and joie de vivre.
