Millinery at its Finest

Millenary-by-Heather-McDowall-351-400x580

By Lisa Gal

Sometimes I stumble across something that I am shocked I didn’t know, like what millinery is. Do you know? Well, it is the designing and manufacturing of hats! Heather McDowall is a true milliner. From her studio in Sydney Australia she creates true masterpieces. While most designs are for race wear or bridal wear, her pieces can also be seen on runways in Australia. All pieces are handmade by Heather and can be custom designed to match your outfit. Her extravagant copper and silver leaf headbands from the Warrior Princess line are valued at $400. These Millinery by Heather McDowall headbands will soon grace the Hollywood Swag Bags being gifted to the 2015 Emmy Nominees staying at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Step 2: Leaving a few thick pieces around the face, use an inch curling iron to begin creating soft, deconstructed waves. Prep and finish the curls with Schwarzkopf styliste ULTIME Biotin+ Volume & Texture H2O-Free Hair Spray for added texture and hold.

Step 3: Take the remaining pieces of hair left in the previous step and create a braid on either side of the face. Once complete, bring the braid to the opposite side of the face and secure above the ear with bobby pins. Repeat with remaining hair on other side of the face; creating a full braid crown. Apply Schwarzkopf styliste ULTIME Crystal Shine & Hold Laminating Shine Hair Spray to secure the look.
