Piers Atkinson.....

So after a short trip home back to the fabulous city of Sheffield (NOT Although I had such a lovely time with my family and friends) it was back to the grind and back to a whole new chapter awaiting me, as I was to begin my new internship with Piers Atkinson the milliner. I chose to go with a milliner as I put headdresses with everything I make and for my final collection I know that I want to incorporate head pieces. I have a big idea which I want to do properly rather than me just doing it the way I think it should be done, so therefore I thought I thought it would be extremely beneficial to go to a milliner where I can learn how to do it properly using the correct techniques. 

I chose Piers Atkinson as I greatly admire his work and appliqué techniques, he is also a friend of Alex's who helped me secure the internship. (Really I owe it all to Alex as he contacted Piers for me. Thankyou Mr Noble!) Anyway he set up a meeting (or chat) between me and Piers, so that I could show him my portfolio, which he really liked and the rest is history! 

Piers Atkinson has yearly collections which he showcases through shows and different pop up stores. His hats have gone global, and are available all around the world. He is supported by Ella Dror PR company which is the same as Alex's, which is how they know each other. 

Here is the reason why I LOVE his work.....
