OUR STORY
The Meg + Wren collection comprises a high quality range of bespoke and ready-to-wear racewear, bridal and special occasion millinery. Constructed only from the finest materials, pieces are individually designed and meticulously handcrafted to create classically elegant headwear.
The creator of Meg + Wren, Jennifer Constantinou, is a professional milliner based in Brisbane, Australia. Having learnt the skills of dressmaking and needlework from a young age, she developed a love for the art of millinery while completing a Certificate IV in Millinery at Metropolitan South Institute of Tafe. Completing her studies at MSIT in 2014, Jennifer was awarded a Millinery Award and is now a Fellow member of the Millinery Association of Australia. She has since completed a Diploma of Branded Fashion at Billy Blue College of Design in 2018 and undertaken courses with renowned Australian milliners Rebecca Share, Waltraud Reiner, Jane Stoddart and international milliners Tracy Chaplin, Ian Bennet and Awon Golding. Using traditional millinery techniques to create the Meg + Wren collection, Jennifer prides herself in fine craftsmanship and attention is given to every detail to ensure each piece is exquisite. Her preferred shapes are wide brimmed hats and headpieces, boater hats and berets/face huggers. She loves to work with a variety of materials including straw, buckram, sinamay, straw cloth and fur felt and is drawn to the draping capabilities of silk abaca, jinsin and silks. Line and texture are accentuated through hand tooled flowers, sculptured feathers, moulded lace, beading and veiling. Meg + Wren are proud of our achievements! Our headpieces have been worn by Royal Queensland Show FoTF Presenter Lyndsay Douglas, Channel 7 Presenter Kendall Gilding and Channel 7 House Rules contestant Danielle Russell.
