She later collaborated with Catherine Delaney in theatre and film before establishing her own millinery house in Clerkenwell, later moving to the iconic Oxo Tower.
Her work has been showcased at Fortnum & Mason during London Craft Week and Coutts Bank for London Fashion Week. She is also a member of the prestigious Walpole British Luxury group and has guest presented for the BBC’s Royal Ascot Ladies Day.

“My designs are deeply influenced by sculptural art, architecture, and nature. Every hat I create is like a conceptual sculpture—no two are ever the same. A hat shouldn’t be worn out of obligation; it should empower and inspire confidence. My goal is to craft pieces that enhance both the wearer’s features and outfit, transforming each hat into a true statement piece, " said Katherine.
