Banks & Bell for Fenella Peacock...


Wow what a crazy week! For those that may not know I am a budding milliner and I am launching my new label 'Banks & Bell' at the Fenella Peacock parade!

The parade is this Friday (27th April, 2012) so it's all hands on deck to get my pieces made in time. I finished another piece last night and started working on more. As well as hats I also make headpieces. The parade will feature mainly my headpieces which are beaded by hand. Each bead is stitched on individually, so if a thread should break the whole design won't fall apart! To produce one piece can take up to 3 days depending on the design.

We had a fitting last week and they looked amazing on the models. I can't wait to see my designs walking down the runway with Fenella Peacock's collections.

Here is a sneak peek at some of the designs you will see on the catwalk...

Lilly Loves Tea & Father Friday 13th Parade....


Clothing stores Lilly Loves Tea and Father are set to liven up the Claremont Hotel with a Fashionista Friday the 13th...

This is the third Fashionista Friday at the Claremont Hotel for Lilly Loves Tea, but this time they join forces with mens wear store 'Father'.

It starts at 7:30pm Friday 13th April, with free nibbles and $3 glasses of sparkling wine.

The parade will feature all new Autumn/Winter12 ranges by One Teaspoon, Millie Loves Min, Stylestalker, Cassette Society, Vanishing Elephant, Ksubi, Bassike and Chronicles of Never..... 

Given that each parade has topped the other I can't wait to see what they have planned next.

I hope to catch you there!

Vintage Hat Affair



My Precious Lady Hat by Banks & Bell

Loyal readers I'm sorry for the recent neglect. As I predicted a few weeks ago this past month has been very crazy but also rewarding.

It has been very exciting to see my first post go up as a guest blogger, on local website 'We Love Perth'! Featuring photo's of my vintage hat collection.

I would also like to announce that the name of my new Millinery label is Banks & Bell. I'm currently designing a range of head pieces for Fenella Peacock's up coming parade on the 27th of April. Just click for further details.

I am also happy to say that I will be writing in the style section for the new online magazine 'The Star Fish'.

Everything seems to have happened at once, but it keeps me on my toes...
