 Emily Winter (2008)

After completing a Bachelor of Arts, I took a year off and travelled through the States and South America. Upon returning home, I began a career in buying for both retail and wholesale. During this time I launched a side project - Derby & Power Millinery. The brand was born to fill the gap between cheap, mass-produced race wear, and unattainably expensive high-end millinery.

After spending a few years developing my skills through a combination of short courses and self-teaching, I was able to introduce a bridal range and take the business full time. This spring Derby & Power headpieces will be stocked in 12 retail stores, in addition to my own online and pop-up stores. I absolutely adore every aspect of working for myself, and am extremely excited about the future!

Meg has kindly sent us a photo of herself and her third cousin,

Sr Marita Fitzgerald RSCJ. Meg wrote:

Hello to all my SAC friends I am living in Tweed Heads in South NSW and about to move to Queensland with my partner Rod. We fly to W. A where his family is and to Melbourne where my family is about twice a year. I can't wait to get to Queensland  to our new house and a puppy Blue Heeler. I have a lot of contact with the Mandevillians on Facebook but not the Sac girls. Where are you? I am retired and living life to the fullest. I speak to my cousin Sr Marita Fitzgerald RSCJ. Sadly she has Parkinson's disease.

Take care. Meg.
