Casting Female Models for Photo Shoot 10 July, 2009

Can you rock this hat?

I am a Chicago-based hat designer, casting female models for a photo shoot to take place on Friday, 10 July, 2009 and possibly Saturday, 11 July, 2009. The photographer and I are planning this shoot to take place in the studio and on location in Elgin, IL. While we are professionals in our respective fields, this is a portfolio-building shoot for all of us. You will receive professional photographs for your portfolio and our undying gratitude as compensation.

tonya gross millinery

milliner for hire

Dear Millinery Friends and Fashion Designers,

I am an award winning milliner based in Chicago seeking opportunities in millinery as a contract milliner or hired hand. I love Chicago but growing frustrated by the limited opportunities to learn and grow as a milliner here. I am living my dream as an artist and small business owner and am willing to relocate just about anywhere for the right opportunity! Let's make beautiful accessories together!

I have trained at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago fashion and fiber departments, most notably with milliner Eia Radosavljevic; an internship with the innovative Redmoon Theatre Company in the build shop and in the costume department; and designing for several years as tonya gross millinery. I am happy to provide a CV, photos and references at your request. I also refer you to my website: http://www.tonyagrossmillinery.com for photos of some of my most recent work. Thank you!

We heard that the UIUC RUNWAY show at Krannert Art Museum went well. TGM did not attend but the hats did! We are anxious to see how the photos have come out but so far, radio silence from the RUNWAY folks. We'll have an update soon...

EXIT Chicago this Friday, April 3!

Our dear friend/bar wench at Exit is celebrating GRAD SCHOOL and, uh...financial unfortune. Help us raise funds to pack her on her way! Bring your change! Happy Financial Demise, TT!
