Hot on the Highstreet Week 270

Davina-Mulford-Millinery

Wedding season is upon us and it seems fitting to feature a young innovative hat designer.

Davina Mulford Millinery was launched in 2015, specialising in beautiful, affordable headwear for occasions such as weddings and Royal Ascot.

The daughter of a dressmaker, beautiful design and craftmanship are at the heart of Davina’s creations.

Prior to training as a milliner, Davina co-founded a hat rental company, where she gained an invaluable insight into the world of millinery.

In 2014 she decided to branch out on her own, training at The London College of Fashion and Kensington and Chelsea College, as well as working for renowned milliners Gina Foster, and Noel Stewart.

Hats and headpieces are made to order from Davina’s studio in West London, and can be made in almost any colour, to match your outfit.  You should allow 2-3 weeks for your order to be ready.

Is September too early to start a Christmas wish list? When I do write one, Poplin pyjamas will be at the top.

Poplin was founded by Lucy Guinness to offer sophisticated women lounge/sleepwear that would perfectly blend function and form – letting them look and feel amazing.

After graduating from Oxford, Lucy won a scholarship to study History of Fashion at London’s Courtauld Institute of Art. Deep in the fashion archives of famous museum collections, examining antique and vintage garments, she found inspiration to develop a contemporary line of pieces that would be worn and loved until they were old and threadbare.

In 2010 her sense of adventure led her to live in India; she now divides her time between Bombay and London. Poplin pyjamas combine Lucy’s love of fashion and travel, the perfect tailored suit to sleep in whilst away from home.

I love the neon trimmed classic pyjamas and the luxurious silky bridal PJs that come complete with a hand-embroidered monogram.

Beautifully tailored and timeless, a pair of Poplin pyjamas will ensure you are in style night and day.

Prices start from £100.
