This year's millinery influence at iD Dunedin Fashion Week continues to inspire budding hat-makers.
Dunedin milliner Samuel Keen taught a millinery workshop at Toitu Otago Settlers Museum yesterday, explaining the tricks and techniques of his craft to eight women.
Mr Keen was asked to host the workshop as an event loosely associated with iD, which took place between March 10 and 17.
British milliner Stephen Jones was this year's international guest at iD and flaunted 33 of his creations on the Dunedin Railway Station runway.
His retrospective collection, from his 33-year career to date, influenced other millinery-based fashion events during fashion week. Mr Keen predominantly made hats for Musical Theatre Dunedin and yesterday showed workshop participants how to create dramatic headwear fit for the stage.
''They are making millinery items - parts they would put on a hat or fascinator. I'm teaching the techniques, and about the product and processes involved.''
Mr Keen also explained how hats worked as part of stage costume.
He showed a selection of his own work so the women could get an appreciation of the finished product.
Other events associated with iD, including exhibitions and talks by fashion designers, continue this month throughout Dunedin.
