Evening dress shoot, Jan 09
These were test shots, and I'm not sure if they've been published, but they're worth seeing for their sheer drama and impact. Imagine the outfits without the headpieces…. Good, yes, but not great …..

Nice little piece about fascinators (although the f********* word is banned in H'atelier - we prefer "headpiece" - so much classier, don't you think?).

Just showing off…
Me and my lovely daughter Cleo at the opening of Vivienne Westwood's Anglomania

Odder and Oddest.

Manchester Confidential: Lynda Moyo finds a shop that's ahead of itself
"The current hat collection at Hatelier is for women who want to add
something daringly different to their look. Think SJP at the Sex and the
City premiere.
H'atelier is the best place in the city centre to find a one-off hat. After
Jen has worked her magic, what you're left with is a piece of headwear which
will last forever."

Manchester Evening News, 23rd June 08: Party people in fashion
"... in the city centre the ladies were all getting very excited about the launch of new hat studio H'Atelier and the chance to be a little bit girly and try on as many of the stunning headwear creations as possible.

Manchester Evening News, 17th June 08: This design's a cert

"I will be heading off to Royal Ascot to cover the event for the Manchester
Evening News, it rather ruined my plans of hoping to stick a bit of feather
in my hair and hope that will suffice. Certainly this is not the year for
being a shrinking violet when it comes to headwear - as statement hats are

does a notice of the launch of a brand new couture milliner right here in
the city centre."
The result:
"a fabulous swirl of blues - …. Jen has even used pages from the M.E.N, including The Diary page, printed on to linen in the curls of the hat."
