BurJuman's head of PR and Marketing Sabina Khandwani said the Dubai World Cup is undoubtedly the most glamorous event on the city's sports and social calendar.
“These milliners are famous in the world of fashion for their chic, stylish and trendy designs and for their high quality work and we are delighted to be playing host to them prior to the Dubai World Cup. These women can create a unique and fashionable look to suit every taste, making sure that those who visit BurJuman's Millinery Exhibition are guaranteed to step out in style on race day,” said Ms Khandwani.
The Australian milliners participating include:
• Renowned Australian milliner Serena Lindeman specializes in making fine millinery suitable for race wear, weddings and other formal occasions. Serena, the recipient of the Myer 'Fashions on the Field 2006' Millinery Award at the Melbourne Cup last year, uses the finest materials available to design a wide range of head wear that suit a variety of tastes, making her a firm favourite with a number of celebrity race-goers.
• A milliner for 17 years, Melbourne-based Louise MacDonald began her career in England, making hats for film and television productions. Working in one of London's best costume houses she has produced headwear for actors including Minnie Driver, Tom Cruise, Jerry Hall, William Hurt, Helena Bonham Carter and Vanessa Redgrave to name a few.
• Fondly described as the “Mad Hatter” of Australia, Marilena Romeo has experienced an unprecedented level of success since her inauguration into the hat world, bagging a top prize at the Milliner Design Awards in 1992 after only one year of production. Romeo utilises the traditional skills of hat design to create a glamorous and theatrically-inspired range. Her specialties include racewear, evening and bridal ware.
