Morley College – A Hat Journey around the World

The Culture Trust Luton is proud to present the work of Morley College’s millinery students. The students delved into headwear styles from across the world through the Culture Trust collection and their own research. They explored pieces worn by anyone from royalty to the general public. Under guidance of lecturers Vesna Pesic, Sarah Lomax and Rafael Peinador Perez, they were challenged to research and explore materials, techniques, and processes seen in global headwear to create a hat for this display. Paying particular attention to sustainable practices, the students showcase their exceptional craftsmanship and creativity in this homage to the world’s hats.

We invite hat enthusiasts, fashion lovers, and all those fascinated by the art of millinery to join us at the Morley College – A Hat Journey around the World display. This is a rare opportunity to witness the talents of emerging milliners and gain insights into the fascinating world of hats.
