Wendi has been making superb headwear & styling women for the races for over 18 years and many of her clients have won “Fashions on the Field”. Wendi specializes in exclusively designed hats and headpieces for celebrities, race goers, brides and mothers of the bride, film and TV productions, and for men & women on the cutting edge of fashion... She works closely with her clients and their couturiers, designers and dressmakers, providing advice and guidance – making sure her inspirational designs are tailored to enhance their personality, their outfit and their individual style. An extensive background in art, screen-printing, fabric design and sculpture which started at just 16 years old, assures you of a unique piece of creativity. 10 years in the TV & Film industry steered her towards the theatrical side of millinery where she makes many exotic pieces for the industry. A tour of London, Paris & Italy in 2006 inspired her to return with new enthusiasm to ensure the women of Australia wear only the best quality couture hats! Her studio in Balmain is truly an inspiration...not only for her exquisite range of hats and headpieces, but for her display of paintings and sculptures. “My aim is for my clients to feel totally relaxed when they arrive at my studio and to enjoy being part of the creative process while having their exclusive piece designed - and to leave my studio not only feeling confident but to radiate !... to look and feel magnificent when wearing my hats!” |

“Each hat is a personal work of art and full of Wendi’s soul...from gorgeous formal pieces to hats with a divinely humorous nature. Wendi has the ability to produce hats that bring out her client’s unique essence and energy...part of the charm of owning an original Philadelphia Philpot...I think she is brilliant!”
Simon Dow,
Artistic Director "I
received an invitation to Royal Ascot..Going to Wendi’s studio was an
experience I will never forget. Not only did Wendi design the perfect hat,
but put together the complete outfit - from head to toe. I thought she might
only design for the “Stars”, however I ended up feeling like 'The Star'.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Wendi to anyone who needs a
milliner/stylist. " Michelle
