About Wendi

Wendi-Nutt Philadelphia Philpot Millinery

From alternative bridal headpieces to hats for racing enthusiasts on race day, Wendi has been creating one-off couture hats and headpieces for over 27 years in Sydney.

Custom made couture pieces for all ladies and gents – traditional and alternative.

Work

Wendi combines traditional millinery techniques with her own wonderful creative imagination to produce unique and skilfully made pieces.  All hats and headpieces are hand stitched. Not a drop of glue is used on any designs … a true milliner!

 

Wendi can also re-block your hats into another shape. She can then re-style and re-trim them – a very practical and affordable new hat.  Sustainable Fashion at its best.

 

Another of Wendi’s passions is restoring and repairing vintage hats and bridal headpieces.

Clients

From restoring treasured hats to producing unique headpieces for alternative thinking brides, Wendi produces exciting, quality headwear for a wide range of clients right across Sydney. Women and men from all social backgrounds have commissioned her work over the years.

 

Her work includes couture hats for the theatre, television, film and music industries. She specializes in stylish yet functional headwear for weddings and the racing fraternity.

I have enough imagination to last me a lifetime, so I am not influenced by overseas designers and have no need to copy the designs of others. (Wendi – Philadelphia Philpot 2010)
