London milliner Edwina Ibbotson, who created the headpiece Pippa Middleton wore to Prince George’s christening, is heading to Adelaide for a millinery convention this July.

London milliner Edwina Ibbotson, who created the beaded corsage pillbox headpiece Pippa Middleton wore to Prince George’s christening, is heading Down Under in July for The Millinery Association of Australia’s 2017 HATS OFF TO ADELAIDE MILLINERY CONVENTION.

Ms Ibbotson, whose creations are a favourite with Royal Ascot racegoers, will be joined by Spain’s Vladimir Straticiuc, famous for his Vladimir Tocados millinery which marries fantasy with fashion.

The two will be among the international and Australian milliners sharing their secrets at workshops during the five-day convention, which runs from July 9 to 15 at TAFE SA Adelaide City Campus.

The workshops are designed to appeal to established milliners keen to network and improve their skills and anyone interested in learning the art of hat making.

Highlights of the convention include an Opening Trade Show, which is open to the public with free entry, and Welcome Cocktail Party on July 9.

The convention will conclude with a Grand Finale Luncheon at Adelaide’s Morphettville Racecourse on July 15. Proceeds from the race day, which is also open to the public and includes a Fashions on the Field and Millinery Awards, will assist Adelaide’s Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
