Philadelphia Philpot was established in 1991

by celebrated Sydney milliner & stylist, Wendi Nutt

Wendi has been making superb headwear & styling women for the races for over 20 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 YOU !

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!Wendi

And here's what some of my delighted clients are saying...

Thank you so much for my your support and magnificent creation for my very first fashions on the field. I felt a million dollars!. Nyree Alexander, Sydney

 

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!”

"Thank you so very much for your invaluable contribution to the Melbourne Cup activities at Cockle Bay Wharf.  The day was a great success, and everyone really enjoyed the fashion combination of fabulous dresses and hats.

Your hats were, as always, a sensational stand out."  Daren Tait Cockle Bay 2007

 

“Wendi, a big thank you again for your creative

talents. My Melbourne cup outfit looked terrific - a

simple dress topped with a fabulous hat created by

you.”

Belinda Green, 1972 Miss World

 

Thank you for always accommodating my late requests!

 6 years in a row of creating an original, glamorous hat for Melbourne Cup that is truly stunning and different…I love them all!.. Ann Smart, Sydney
