Designer Millinery

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. 

A Range of Elegant Styles 

At our London studio, we create designer hats and turbans that suit various occasions and preferences. Each piece is handmade using quality materials, ensuring both durability and luxurious appeal. Our collection includes: 

• Occasion Hats: Perfect for weddings, Royal Ascot, or formal events, these hats make a statement. 
• Turbans: A blend of modesty and high fashion, ideal for women who appreciate unique headwear. 
• Headbands: Chic, easy to wear and versatile, they add a touch of sophistication to any outfit. 
• Berets and Beanies: Casual options for everyday elegance. 

These designs celebrate femininity, offering women the chance to express their personal style through distinctive and elegant headpieces.
