So happy to be featured by @liga_net alongside some incredibly talented Ukrainian creatives building their businesses in London.

There are so many different stories, journeys and creative worlds represented in this article — and I’m delighted to be part of it.

It was especially lovely to see some familiar faces and fellow creatives included too. ( @volkova_aleksandra @sofi.rich.uk @vlmillinery)

Thank you @liga_net and @alyonasemko for shining a light on Ukrainian talent in London — and to everyone who shared their story.

September is for vintage, hats & a little bit of dressing up.

If you’re anything like me, half the fun is not just going to these events — it’s deciding what to wear. 😉

So I’ve put together a little Vintage & Hat Events diary for September & October — from Jane Austen @jafestivalbath and Goodwood Revival @goodwoodrevivalstyle to vintage fairs ( @classiccarbootsale is my favourite) , classic cars and the occasional excuse to wear something fabulous.

And yes… you’ll probably spot me at a few of them. 👀

Save this post for your autumn vintage adventures — and tell me, which one are you going to?

Beautiful Ladies' Day at Royal Ascot 2026.

Champagne was sipped, bets were placed, and money was won... or not 😝, as the love for hats was shared.

It was a delight to see so many friends and to make a few new ones. Each year, it feels different but is always magnificent.

Thank you to everyone who made this day so special.

A little magic, a little mischief… and a touch of the unexpected.

Happy Halloween from VLMillinery!

May your day be full of magic, mystery and fabulous headwear.

A headpiece fit for the Bride of Frankenstein…

If Frankenstein’s bride had a milliner, I imagine this might have been the result.

A little gothic romance, a touch of drama and plenty of attitude.

Inspired by the macabre world of Frankenstein, with a VLMillinery twist.

Because every bride deserves something extraordinary. Even this one.

A world of shadows, science and a touch of the macabre.

A little trip into the world of Frankenstein…

Last Halloween, I visited the Frankenstein exhibition and came away with more than just photographs — it sparked an idea that eventually took shape as a headpiece.

Sometimes inspiration comes from the most unexpected places… and occasionally, it gets a little gothic.

More on that soon… 👀

Who says bespoke headpieces are only for weddings and race days?

An afternoon at the Royal Academy, exploring Painting the French Riviera — and another occasion to dress up and wear something a little extraordinary.

Because sometimes, the occasion doesn’t call for a hat. You simply decide it deserves one.

Catching up with friends, crossing paths with familiar faces, and a little London Film Festival magic. 🎬

Some evenings have better plot twists than others.

What a wonderful evening at the Sheridan Club @newsheridanclub — full of lively conversation, fascinating stories and, naturally, plenty of hats.

I had the pleasure of speaking about Hats Through Time: History, Etiquette, Myths and Modern Millinery, exploring the ways hats have shaped fashion, reflected society and gathered some wonderfully intriguing rules along the way.

From historic traditions to the way we wear hats today, it was a joy to share my passion for this extraordinary craft in such a warm and welcoming setting.

Thank you to the Sheridan Club for having me and for creating such a memorable evening. ❤️

Some people go to a vintage market to find a bargain. I go home with 47 new ideas and absolutely no more space in my wardrobe.

A little look back at the Classic Car Boot Sale. @classiccarbootsale

London never runs out of characters, does it?

The moments in time captured by @alecmoses123 by @vlmillinery

Vintage cars, vintage clothes… and, of course, hats.

The Classic Car Boot Sale (@classiccarbootsale ) is basically a dangerous place for someone who works in millinery.

So much vintage colour, texture, styling and wonderfully eccentric London energy — I could happily spend hours looking at what people are wearing and what turns up on the stalls.

A little inspiration for the next headpiece, perhaps?
