Katherine the Designer & Milliner “To create a hat, is to create a piece of art.”  "I take my inspiration from sculptural art, architecture and nature, pulling all of these elements together in my designs.  Like a conceptual sculpture, no two of my designs are ever the same. To me, a hat isn’t something you should wear because you feel you have to.  I design hats to empower and give confidence to the wearer.  I believe every hat should be a sculpture that enhances both your features and your outfit."  - Katherine Elizabeth Whether it’s Royal Ascot, Henley Royal Regatta, The Irish Races, Epsom Derby, weddings, garden parties, or if you simply need a glamorous headpiece; Katherine Elizabeth Millinery is home to beautiful hand-made millinery.
