ELLEN CHRISTINE MILLINERY - HATS

Ellen Christine studied design school in Boston where she rans the costume department at Strutters, now Bobby’s from Boston. Back then, Bobby had just bought an estate that included hundreds of hats, still in their boxes, never worn. The darlings were crushed by time and gravity, and the restoration became her first major millinery project.
Moving to New York in the 1980’s, still making hats, she pursuedes a Masters and Doctorate in costume history at New York University. One of her favorite projects during those years was working in the studio of theatrical costume-maker Barbara Matera with the crew on Beauty and the Beast. From that groundwork came a little shop in Chelsea called Ellen Christine Millinery, where for 16 years, her jewelbox of a store provided stylists, editors and customers.
Ellen Christine ha studiato  design a Boston dove ha seguito il reparto costumi a Strutters, ora Bobby da Boston. Allora, Bobby aveva appena comprato una tenuta che comprendeva centinaia di cappelli, ancora nelle loro scatole, mai indossati. Questi tesori erano schiacciati dal tempo e dalla forza di gravità, e il restauro è diventato il suo primo grande progetto di modisteria. Trasferitasi a New York nel 1980, continua a fare cappelli, prende un Master e un  Dottorato in storia del costume alla New York University. In quegli anni  lavora nello studio teatrale della costumista Barbara Matera con la crew della bella e la bestia. Da lì nasce il suo piccolo negozio a Chelsea chiamato Ellen Christine Millinery, dove da 16 anni, fornisce stilisti, editori e clienti.

  2. These are the materials that made up the majority of beach hats along coastline states. Then there's the famous Panama straw with its soft surface feature, Sensi Studio Straw Bags
