FERNLEY

Manchester-based Milliner

Annabeth Fernley is a Manchester-based contemporary milliner with a passion for craftsmanship shaped by a twelve-year costume career in theatre, TV and film. In 2023 Annabeth began formalising her millinery practice through short courses leading to a place on the prestigious Chanel and Kings Foundation Métiers d’art Millinery Fellowship.

Her work blends structural forms, sensitive use of colour, and a modern take on classic shapes to create a refined, feminine aesthetic. Versatile in both style and material, she designs for diverse tastes and occasions.

About Annabeth

Millinery Practice

  • Fashion

    From developing my own collections to collaborating with fashion designers and brands, I create headwear that brings a wider creative vision to life. I also offer bespoke, one-off commissions for individual pieces.

  • Bridal

    If your imaging a subtle understated piece or a more sculptural statement we work together to bring your vision to life for the big day.

  • Costume

    I have 14 years experience in making costumes in collaberstion with designers - through supervising, dying/breaking down and millinery. Available for commissions and as an in house maker.

  • Occasion wear

    The perfect opportunity to play and experiment as a wearer and a maker. I’m working on a collection for 2027 racing season.
