In his 30-year career, Neil has created thousands of hats for brides, race-goers and celebrities alike. He has also created headwear for theatre productions such as Miss Saigon, 42nd Street, Glimpses and Les Miserables.

Renowned for his beautiful hand-made flowers, enchanting feather-work, and an endless imagination, Neil designs his headpieces to complement the particular individual style of each client. His bridal wear ranges from delicate headpieces through to flowing full-length veils. His race wear channels a vintage elegance that has a theatrical edge and individuality which has resulted in many of his clients becoming finalists or winning "Fashions on the Field".
