DECADE PARADE GOES ON SHOW AT HAT WORKS (June 2010)

Stockport's Hat Works, the UK's only museum dedicated to the hatting industry, opened its latest exhibition entitled Decade Parade: Small Hats Big Look last weekend. 2010 is Hat Work's 10th birthday and to celebrate the museum is showcasing this special exhibition featuring the very best entries from its international miniature millinery competition launched in honour of this landmark birthday.

Professional and amateur hat makers were asked to seek inspiration from their local market and create a big look. The theme was chosen for the competition as 2010 is also the 750th anniversary of the granting of Stockport's Market Charter. Some hat makers were inspired by one particular type of stall, others chose their local market, or thought of markets in general. The results are astonishing; this is contemporary millinery at its best.

The professional competition was won by Molly Bunce for her entry entitles Caterpillar Heaven. It impressed the judges with its great use of colour: the bright green of the Romanesco broccoli contrasts with the black base, purple quill and witty orange caterpillar. The beautiful broccoli is shaped velvet and the netting is real fruit-bag netting.
