Meet your host for the challenge…Katherine Elizabeth!
I’m an award-winning millinery designer with a shop in the iconic Oxo Tower London. I have worked with designers & artists, including Kyle ho, Sarah Ravensburger, Jasper Gavida, Stephen Jones, The Noisettes, Lily Allen, Dita Von Teese, and Jameela Jamil (to name just a few!). I have also appeared on the BBC, ITV and London Live News Channel, my hats have appeared in magazines and News Papers such as Stylist, Women and Home, the Independent, Red, Marie Claire, and Tatler and have been on show in Paris Fashion Week and London Fashion week. My two-brim hat was also worn by Johannes Radebe on the Graham Norton show. I have successfully taught thousands of students all about millinery & business over the years and worked with companies such as Visa, Investec, and Royal Bank of Canada to put on special millinery events in venues such as the Cliveden House, Chewton Glen, Berkley Hotel, the Rosewood Hotel. And now, I’d love to share all my knowledge & expertise with you in this brand-new challenge!
Have fun crafting your very own piece of wearable art.
It’s time to bring your creative spark and your ideas to life! I’m looking forward to sharing my ideas and seeing what you come up with.
