 Millinery Couture Collection

Jane Taylor

 Creative Director

Jane Taylor launched her first range of bespoke hats back in 2008, selling only to a selection of private clients. With her designs being paraded around Ascot and Henley Royal Regatta, it wasn’t long before word spread and Jane Taylor’s designs were in high-demand every season.

Fast-forward five years, and Jane Taylor has established herself as a go-to-milliner to the Royals, and with an ever-increasing list of private clients, her work can often be found gracing the pages of Vogue, Tatler and Sunday Times Style.

With three new collections every season; Bridal, Ready-To-Wear and Bespoke, there’s something for everyone. The Bridal collection entails intricate crystal headpieces and lace vintage veils. Ready-To-Wear offers a vast selection of pillboxes, fedoras and wide brimmed hats; perfect for the summer wedding and racing seasons. The current bespoke range is fabulous and outrageous, and includes a selection of one off show pieces created for some of the UK’s leading Style publications. 

The bespoke service includes a made to dye option, where fabrics and colours can be matched and dyed to your exact requirements. Each piece holds a truly unique and contemporary feel, as Taylor takes inspiration from taxidermy, antique prints and couture designs.

It would be hard to ignore Jane’s meteoric rise to success in the world of millinery, as her Royal clientele includes The Duchess of Cambridge, Zara Phillips, The Countess of Wessex, Princess Eugenie and HRH Mary of Denmark. However it’s not only the Royal Family that appear to have taken notice, as Jane Taylor’s current stockists include Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Fenwicks, Fortnum and Mason and a new diffusion line ‘Taylor’ at House of Fraser.

Celebrating five years as Jane Taylor Millinery Ltd. this year, the brand is looking forward to expanding internationally and increasing its global audience.

Ines Di Santo - Bridal Collection 2014/2015 

A Family Affair

Ines Di Santo launched in 1984 in Toronto, Canada, when her daughter Veronica was only nine years old. Veronica joined the business 14 years later, and together they have won global praise and media accolades in Martha Stewart Weddings, The Knot, Town and Country Weddings, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, Brides and more. Their gowns have also appeared on the red carpet including the Golden Globes and made small screen debuts in Mario & Courtney’s Wedding Fiesta on TLC and My Fair Wedding with David Tutera.

Ines Di Santo

Ines is a celebrated designer of bridal and evening couture, but more importantly, she gives each gown her personal touch: “Your wedding day is your chance to have your red carpet moment, and I’m here to help you look and feel amazing.” Her sense of glamour and vibrant femininity inspires every appointment. She custom fits luxury to your body and spirit with her mastery of tailoring and construction that has been perfected over countless brides in the United States, Canada and beyond. Combining her European aesthetic with her innate sense of design, she experiments with swathes of silk, lace, embroidery and embellishments to effortlessly create your perfect gown.

Blessed to grow up in an atelier, Veronica inherited the same passion for couture and a genuine appreciation to treat every bride with TLC, ensuring your experience is special in every possible way. Today she infuses her mother’s classic sense of luxury with unexpected twists such as pastel colour palettes and art deco inspired details. “I love bringing a relaxed, youthful elegance to every appointment,” she says.

British fashion is self confident and fearless.  It refuses to bow to commerce, thus generating a constant flow of new ideas whilst drawing in British heritage.

'Across the Pond.'  This idiom means on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, used to refer to the US or the UK depending on the speaker's location. In this case it refers to the UK.

P.S. Luxe collection.... 'Luxe is an adjective and has its origin in Latin. It is obtained from the word 'luxus' and was later modified by the French as 'luxury.' This word 'luxe' could also be used as a noun. Luxe is something which is luxurious. Luxe is a luxury. When something is described as being elegantly sumptuous, it is said to be luxe'.
