Laura is based in Mayfair, London where she has her atelier and millinery showroom and produces her own collections in addition to collaborating with other design houses. Recently collaborations include installations at jewellers Mappin & Webb on both Regent Street and Bond Street for the Ascot season. Laura has also hand-made pieces of headwear for Louis Vuitton’s L’invitation au Voyage campaign. Further collaborations include Hasan Hejazi and Boodles, the jewellers. Her pieces are now stocked internationally.
A star-studded client list includes Paloma Faith, Rita Ora, Jessie J and the Duchess of Westminster. Laura’s pieces have also been featured in Magazines such as Tatler, Italian Vogue, LOVE Magazine, In Style, Schön!, Fault Magazine and WWD.
As a Hat Designer and Maker, she believes that it is of utmost importance that we do not see couture millinery disappear. Intrinsic to her ethos is the use of modern design with old couture techniques, each piece is hand blocked and individually hand stitched without the use of any machinery to obtain the highest quality finish.
Laura completed her Foundation Degree specialising in millinery at Central Saint Martins and studied courses at Kensington and Chelsea College in theatrical millinery. She was awarded Entrepreneur of the Year 2012 from LCF, Laura was finalist of the New Era Introducing Baseball hat competition and her graduate collection has been featured on WGSN.
