MILLINERY ME THIS!

Bespoke Millinery has been predicted to be one of the hottest trends of 2011. If that's true, then International Award-winning milliner David Dunkley can likely be considered one of the pioneers. Combine artistic flair with demure and boldness and you have fascinators, hats and headpieces that drop the jaw and, in some cases, seem to defy gravity. Having studied with the former royal milliner to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (you can't get more impressive than that!), Dunkley's fashions have been worn by members of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's royal entourage and at functions held by Her Majesty herself.
And with one look at Dunkely's creations you can see that same royal style and sophistication embedded in a wide variety of designs from the whimsical and romantic to the distinctive and intrepid.
If millinery is destined to be this year's hottest trend, you can be rest assured that David Dunkley's exquisite millinery will go far beyond any one's expectations and will far outlast any trend of the season.
After all, as far as This Planner is concerned, David Dunkley's work is a trend of its own.

As I'm sure you know, This Planner has always loved nontraditional headpieces. And at a recent wedding show I had the pleasure of experiencing Dunkley's work up close and personal. To be completely truthful I literally had to hold myself back from playing dress-up. Each and every handcrafted, custom-made design has its own personal structure and delicate embellishments that make each piece a stand alone event. Whether for a wedding or a cocktail party, each piece had the power to instantaneous transform a single outfit into completely different looks.
