HAVING BEEN BROUGHT UP IN THE HORSE RACING WORLD, ANNIE WAS ACCUSTOMED TO DONNING A HAT OR ADMIRING HAT WEARERS FROM A YOUNG AGE. FOLLOWING A DEGREE AT CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS, SHE ENTERED THE THEATRE INDUSTRY IN THE WORLD OF COSTUME, BEFORE CULTIVATING HER PASSION IN MILLINERY BY FURTHER TRAINING AT THE LONDON COLLEGE OF FASHION.

AT ANNIE P-G MILLINERY WE SOURCE AS MANY OF THE MATERIALS, INCLUDING VINTAGE CLOTHING, REMNANT FABRICS AND OFF-CUTS, AS LOCALLY AS WE CAN, TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES AND LESSEN THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. EACH ITEM IS HAND-MADE, USING TRADITIONAL MILLINERY PRACTICES. CREATING AN EASY TO WEAR PIECE IS A MUST, BUT DEFINITELY NOT TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE DESIGN. FINDING INSPIRATION FROM THE NATURAL WORLD AND BYGONE TIMES, LUXURIOUS MATERIALS ARE SOURCED TO COMPLETE THE PERFECT HEADPIECE. BEING CONSCIOUS OF SUSTAINABILITY, WE LOVE TO CREATE A PIECE FOR A CLIENT, BASED AROUND A BELOVED ITEM OF CLOTHING. GIVING AN ITEM A NEW LEASE OF LIFE BY TRANSFORMING IT MAKES THE DESIGN PROCESS EVEN MORE ENJOYABLE.
