Jenny Pfanenstiel
Jenny Pfanenstiel, International Award Winning Couture Milliner and Owner of Formé Millinery, makes handmade hats for women, men and children.
Jenny created her company Formé Millinery, to showcase her art and love for hats. Since she had an impeccable talent for hand sewing costumes with the smallest detail as a former costumer, her craft for hand-sewn couture hats came naturally. Today, she creates all her hats by hand. Her one-of-a-kind hats are created using age old techniques of steaming and blocking over wooden hat blocks as a true Couture Milliner once did. She has become known for her dedication to quality and incorporating once admired embellishments and materials into the hats to truly make a one-of-a-kind piece. Jenny has a true passion for making hats and searching high and low for that perfect vintage material and finding a way to give it a new life and a new purpose. As a Couture Milliner, her goal is to make a person feel sensational in her hats. She wants them to look into the mirror and feel transformed, almost as if they are one with the creation of the hat.
Formé Millinery made news after being featured in the April 2011 issue of British Vogue. Now, the company is gaining increasing local and international recognition with a feature spread to be included in the July issue of Belle Armoire, a magazine featuring wearable art. Her exquisite hats will also be included in upcoming issues of Russian Vogue and Tatler Russia. On April 29, 2011, Formé Millinery hats were also featured on The Oprah Show’s Royal Wedding Party Episode.
Jenny offers a variety of collections including couture cocktail and wedding hats, women’s hats, gentlemen’s hats, headbands, and baby hats. You can find her hats in boutiques around the country. Jenny truly enjoys the art of millinery and welcomes you to try on a hat.
