Mark T Burke Millinery

Mark T Burke is the latest millinery sensation to come out of the West of Ireland. His millinery career began when he designed and produced hats for Athlone Musical Society's production of “My Fair Lady”. This was his first time to turn his hand to millinery and it received rave reviews. He also received an AIMS (Association of Irish Musical Societies) nomination for his work on the show.

Although Mark is a newcomer to the fashion scene he has already won awards for his unique and glamorous designs. He was named “Accessory Designer of the Year” at the Irish Fashion Innovation Awards in March 2010. His pieces are very popular at weddings and race meetings with his work being spotted at Royal Ascot and of course his native 'Galway Races'. He also designed the headpiece for “Best Dressed Lady” Heidi Higgins at the 2010 Punchestown Festival.
