Millinery & Racing

I saw a very interesting and inspiring episode of ‘Artists at Work’ on the ABC last week, about Melbourne milliner Richard Nylon and his creations for the Melbourne Cup. As a point of interest (to me, anyway) he was born in the small country town of Casterton where my brothers live! Here is a picture from the website.

I was in the city on Saturday and there were many people trying hats on for the Melbourne Spring racing carnival, it is really more about the fashion than the racing, which is just fine by me.
