025 | The World of Millinery With Jay Cheng

TORONTO - EntSun -- Guest Bio

For those of you who don't know the term "millinery", it is the art of creating women's hats, and my guest this week is an iconic milliner recognized globally for her intuitive and colorful design style.

Since beginning her career in Fashion and Design in Hong Kong over 25 years ago, she has produced countless editorials and runway shows, executed a wide range of costume, wardrobe, and styling for film, television, print, commercial, and live performances.

While on this journey as a creative, she fell in love with the art of Millinery and in 2004 began her brand Jaycow Millinery.

Since then she has created hundreds of bespoke pieces by mixing and matching her extensive collection of over 400 hat blocks from all over the globe to create democratic shapes that break the rules and reveal the multiplicity of character.

Her brand Block Common is her fresh and contemporary take on popular common hat blocks from throughout the 20th century.

Sponsor

Before I jump into this episode, I wanted to take a second to thank my sponsors at Bean Bundle, Canada's newest coffee subscription.

Before I geared up for this interview I used my french press using beans they sent me from one of the dopest roasters from across the country.

Bean Bundle makes it so easy for people like me who drink tonnes of coffee every single day but love to try beans from different roasters.

The process is pretty simple...you just visit beanbundle.com (https://www.beanbundle.com/?rfsn=4626574.63b8e2) , choose how much coffee you want on a monthly basis, medium or dark roast and they ship you different beans from the latest roasters on a monthly basis.

Best part is if you live in Canada they ship to you absolutely free and if you sign up using the code BUNDLE10 you'll save 10% your subscription. Now pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy this week's episode.
