Moira O’ Toole, Milliner, Accessories designer, stylist and colour expert
Moira, a Kilkenny based Milliner began her journey in 2011 when she attended her first millinery course. As a full time primary school teacher, she spent most of her holiday time designing hats and developing millinery skills through face to face and online learning from milliners all over the world.
This is what Moira very kindly had to say about her Brand Story shoot:
“Eva has a natural ability to put you at ease and bring out the best in you. I smiled through the whole shoot without realising it. She captured the true colourful essence of my brand with her graceful professionalism and her relaxed and friendly personality. A truly talented lady! I would love to do it all again”
Arts and crafts have always been part of Moiras life whether knitting, sewing or painting. She grew up in a home where there was a great appreciation of the arts. Having a keen interest in fashion and style also, Moira loves to see a whole outfit come together and believes there is nothing like a headpiece to give your occasion outfit the finishing touch.
Moira has created a wide variety of beautiful hats, cuffs and accessories and her home is an absolute treasure trove of beautiful things and creative inspiration. Her dining room is now a stunning display area for her work and msot parts of her home feature tools, raw materials, books about millinery and style inspiration. Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed photographing this story!
Moira truly helps women feel confident and elegant in handcrafted bespoke headpieces for any special occasion and is now offering her services as a stylist and colour consultant.
It was only right she got dressed up herself for her shoot and we took ourselves to somewhere with a touch of luxury and style.
The Lyrath Hotel, Kilkenny was the perfect backdrop to showcase Moira’s talent for putting an outfit together and to show how feeling good in your clothes can help you beam with confidence.
Moira booked a brand story shoot which took approximately 5 hours and allowed for more than one location and unlimited outfits. For details on my packages click here or book in a discovery call to see what is right for you.
