LALI HEATH: EXQUISITE HATS

At the feet of couture Milliner Jane Corbett did Lali Heath craft her art.

Under Ms. Corbett best known for her clients who include Kate HRH The Duchess of Cambridge, Lali studied traditional millinery skills from one of England's finest.
Creating beautiful hats and headdresses, Lali who grew up in Kenya, draws on techniques such as hand blocking straws and felts, and hand making delicate flowers, feather and beaded trims.
 
 Heath is one of Africa's few couture milliners and one of the even fewer who can claim modest fame of a hat worn to this year's Royal Ascot by a race goer. Lali Heath who divides her time between 3 countries, UK, Kenya and Tanzania, will be at the Garden Party showcasing and retailing her collection, and consulting with guests on new hats they may wish for custom make by her. A coup for the event, Lali Heath will be in Nairobi in this, an exclusive appearance.
