As some of you know earlier this year I entered the @hatalkemag 10th millinery competition and Saraden Designs was shortlisted in the top 10 Milliners to showcase at @londonhatweek from 110 worldwide milliners. @hatalkemag have since interviewed me and the article went live today! It’s a great moment for Saraden Designs and to delve into my design process! #hatalk #magazine #londonhatweek #LHW #interview #hats #milliner #chat #design #irishdesign #irishmillinery #millinerycouture #handmade #irishmade #sustainablefashion #handmadefabrics #madeinireland #networkireland #womeninbusiness (at Ashbourne, Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj56OG6Mg-o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Unfortunately my design was not chosen in the top but it was a finalist and received a special mention. The public vote is still ongoing and the voting link is in my bio ❤️ Here’s a few words from @hatalkemag and the judges. I just wanted to let you know that your entry to the 2021 HATalk Competition was a shortlisted finalist and received a Special Mention from the judges. Here is some feedback from the judges for you: We loved this hat, taking 2-dimensional skills and transforming them into to 3-dimensional hat. A very interesting and different approach to millinery. An outstanding amount of work went into this piece. Not easy to do and the work was vast and so neat. You must have used a lot of thread! Well done! Thank you for sharing your work with us. #hatalk #competition #hat #artisan #creator #designer #handmade #Embroidery #HandEmbroidery #IrishDesign #IrishFashion #Bird #Millinery #millinerycouture #fashion #art #3d #sculptural (at Ashbourne, Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPX-O1SF5No/?utm_medium=tumblr
