Monique Luttin Millinery specialises in the creation of timeless accessories. The quality of each piece is a reflection on the craft and precision with which they are both imagined and created.With a life long interest in design and craft and formerly trained as an Architect, in 2006 Monique's dedication to detail became an interest in a smaller scale of creation. Hence, her love of couture headpieces, millinery and accessories evolved. Her architectural influence is evident in the sharp, clean lines of her designs. This classic simplicity is offset by bold colours and contrasting materials. Her designs are reminiscent of archetypal forms with a contemporary twist, each piece with its own unique character.Monique Luttin Millinery creates a combination of bespoke objects for private clients, and ready-to-wear hand-blocked berets, headbands and accessories. Her creations have featured at events such as Spring Racing Carnivals both here and abroad, as well as at weddings on both guests and brides alike. Not only reserved for special occasions, her accessories are a much-loved trimming to any outfit! Monique is currently working with a number of brides to create personally tailored headpieces and as a reflection of her craft, has been requested to coordinate accessories for the entire bridal party.In 2007/8 she worked in collaboration with talented trio Hemyca, creating bespoke headpieces for the photoshoot of their Spring/Summer 08 ‘Secret Garden' collection, while their Autumn/Winter 08 collection will feature her ready-to-wear blocked berets.‘I have always loved creating things with my hands, where every detail and every decision is very personal, and hence by nature everything I produce is distinctive. My aim is to break the traditional image of millinery and produce objects of desire that reflect the wearer's individuality.' Monique Luttin
