Sarah Lomax

Sarah Lomax and Rachel Skinner have been making hats for over 20 years since serving their apprenticeships together with Frederick Fox, the Queen’s milliner. They have worked for many leading milliners and theatrical costumiers including Rachel’s wn label – Rachel Skinner Millinery – which she ran from her shop in Primrose Hill, London. Rachel’s designs were regularly featured in magazines such as Vogue, Tatler, Harpers & Queen and Elle, and she created memorable pieces for members of the Royal Family and for some of the world’s most influential fashion icons and stars including Kate Moss, Mick Jagger and Gwen Stefani. Her creations were shown at London and Paris Fashion Weeks, and have been stocked by exclusive fashion retailers in London, New York and the Far East. The pair’s new 2013 venture, Lomax & Skinner, is a partnership based on a shared love of fashion and design and a long established friendship. They design and create couture and bespoke millinery for weddings, race meetings, parties and society events throughout the season, as well as undertaking commissions for other exclusive occasions.
