I have won several design prizes, at the CPD Fashion Expo in Düsseldorf and as a finalist at the "Milliner of the Year" competition in London.

about monika fine millinery

I studied millinery in Germany with millinery masters Christel Glock and Richard Lang and later took a master class in England, with Stephen Jones and Shirley Hex (who taught both Stephen Jones and Philip Treacy, among many others).

In my studio in Madison, NJ, I design and create my hats. All my hats are handmade, from fine materials, with traditional and modern millinery techniques.

My hats are available directly from my studio; in select stores, at trunkshows (the "travelling hatshop")  and at select shows such as ACC Baltimore in February and
the Morristown Craftmarket in October.

Each season, I create new designs, mostly limited editions, a few pret-a-porter-level small series with a theme, and select couture-level pieces (my follies).

Much of what I make is custom work, created for a certain client, to match an outfit or to be the perfect accessory for an event.

In addition to creating hats, I teach millinery classes and give individual hatmaking lessons; I am available for talks.
