The Expertise Behind Our Creations
Nerida Fraiman’s journey into millinery began with a deep appreciation for the art of hat-making. After studying at UCL, she refined her skills under the iconic milliner Philip Treacy, gaining expertise in shaping and designing hats that balance beauty with functionality. Her time at the Opera Bastille in Paris further shaped her understanding of traditional techniques like blocking—the detailed process of moulding materials such as felt and straw over wooden forms to create stunning shapes.
Combining her classical training with a natural talent for modern aesthetics, Nerida’s designs bridge the gap between tradition and innovation, resulting in headpieces that feel timeless yet fresh.
