Behind the Scenes – January at Cara Thomas Millinery

January is often a quieter month in the world of millinery, but behind the scenes, I’ve been busier than ever! While events and race days may still feel a little way off, this is the perfect time to plan, create, and refine my upcoming collections.

This month, I’ve been focusing on growing and evolving Cara Thomas Millinery, attending business clinics and workshops to refine my skills. I even took part in an event on Instagram marketing, exploring new ways to share my designs and connect with you all.

One of the most exciting parts of January has been sketching and developing my Spring/Summer collection. Expect elegant silhouettes, fresh colours, and intricate details—I can’t wait to share more soon!

I’ve also been lucky enough to receive some stunning beaded fabric from a wedding dress, which I’ll be transforming into some truly special hats. I love incorporating sentimental or repurposed fabrics into my designs, giving them a new lease of life.

In preparation for the months ahead, I’ve been busy behind the scenes with photo shoots. I recently sent out some hats for a Valentine’s-themed shoot—stay tuned, as the images will be coming soon! And looking ahead, I’ve booked a model and makeup artist for a Spring/Summer shoot, where I’ll be showcasing my latest designs, including a brand-new bridal range.

January may be quiet on the surface, but so much is happening behind the scenes! I can’t wait to share everything with you soon—watch this space.
