In Orange, NSW, Fiona Schofield has built a business around an art form that is both timeless and deeply personal. As a milliner, Fiona creates hats and headpieces that carry the mark of true craftsmanship. Each piece is handmade in her studio, from everyday straw hats to bespoke race-day designs, with a focus on longevity and considered style.

Fiona’s journey began with a love of design and detail. Over the years, her work has travelled far beyond her regional hometown, finding its place at weddings, race days and events across Australia. What makes her millinery so distinct is the care in every step of the process. From sourcing quality materials to finishing each stitch by hand, her creations are made to be worn, loved and remembered.

Life in Orange gives Fiona the balance she values. The rhythm of regional living, the strong sense of community, and the beauty of the landscape all play their part in inspiring her work. Whether she is in her studio, at the markets, or enjoying time with family, creativity and country living go hand in hand.

Wearing pieces from Goondiwindi Cotton's Between Days collection, Fiona styled some of her favourite pieces. Relaxed denim, lightweight linen and fresh stripes complemented her easy, creative style. Just like her millinery, these clothes are designed to be lived in and enjoyed season after season.
