Victoria Regina
At a young age, Victoria cultivated a delight for hats. Summer trips back to England meant hat shopping for various celebrations. She remembers fondly the adventure of going to London and walking through forests of hats to choose from. It was this fascination that finally lead to a deep interest in millinery. It was during her studies in architecture and engineering that she came to understand that with an understanding of materiality, one's options are unlimited. This has followed her into her career as a couture milliner that passionately upholds the traditions of millinery, while redefining classic headwear, challenging conventions and technique alike.
