Master Milliner
1966-2013

Trust Me, Believe Me, Thrill Me

The Spring Launch of 2005. Shown in the Prop Room, Mannequin Revolution, Jessie Street, Richmond. The Prop Room contains approximately 300 naked mannequins, Paris added 5 live models dressed in Cinema Haute Couture and asked during his welcome speech “Who is real, who is fake, what do we perceive as real beauty and the ideal body shape? Is perfection just illusion?”

And the press wrote - “Trust self described “Master Milliner” Paris Kyne to come up with something spectacular and wacky for his Spring-Summer collection launch.... His latest hats, made in a whirlwind timetable of six weeks, are astounding. One which he calls the Stingray, is 120cm wide and 70cm tall in the back. ‘You won’t fit through a tram door’ he says.”
