History
Established in 2010.
Suzseams Millinery began with a Fall Winter Collection in 2010 following an abrupt change in a Social Work career path I had followed for 25 years. The study of millinery had begun in 1996 while obtaining a degree in Fashion Design, working with instructors and milliners in the field. The millinery label was created as wearable, women's hats, with a focus on classic, simplistic design and modest embellishment. The collection was Inspired by historical dress, timeless glamour and femininity using the traditional methods of millinery.
Meet the Business Owner: Susan M.
This is my millinery reality.
Suzseams founder Susan Morehead grew up in a traditional home where domestic skills and femininity were celebrated, and she began sewing at the age of 4. Her appreciation for textiles, craft and costume history led Susan on a long exploration of creative endeavors. Sewing her own clothing, creating jewelry and seizing every opportunity from friends to learn other media, Susan has spent a lifetime developing the craft and attention to detail reflected in her hats today. Drawing inspiration from milliners like Caroline Reboux, the illustrations of Erte, and the designs of Paul Poiret, Susan's own aesthetic reflects a playful mix of historical references and the use of traditional materials like fur felt, cellophane straw, and unique and evocative vintage embellishments. Education is the foundation of Suzseams, and her ultimate mission is to help more people discover this essential pleasure and beauty themselves wearing the right hat..
