Laura Kinsella Millinery

Ever since I was a young girl, I have loved hats. I think that the right hat can give any outfit new life and do as much as a new pair of shoes or bag could. Yet what is more beautiful than something that piques your interest and makes you do a second take? In the past, I found myself ooh-ing and aww-ing over the work of Maiko Takeda. Takeda created pieces for Bjork and gave new meaning to the word eccentric. When I found the work of Dublin-based milliner Laura Kinsella, I was hooked. With past experience in Melbourne, Mexico City, and her native Ireland, Kinsella took her time honing her craft. After years of training, in 2011 she launched her first bespoke collection. Her attention to detail ensures that each piece is crafted perfectly. This is an artist whose work you don’t want to miss out on:
