With a former life harbouring a keen interest in fashion, and with varied involvements in its industry, I decided to follow my heart, devote my life to my passion, and put my hands to work in an area with a rich history and a striking presence: the art of millinery. In my work, my inspiration comes from years spent abroad in Japan, from travel and film, costuming and haute couture, pin-up and punk rock. Loving personal adornment, and the grandeur of femininity, I instill my loves and interests into all that I create.
At Kitty Andrews, we combine traditional knowledge, techniques, and design precedents with a fresh, youthful approach drawing on modern materials and tastes, resulting in unique pieces that elevate the wearer's character and style. We only use high quality fabrics, felts, and trimmings, with every piece meticulously crafted by hand.
