Natalie Taylor is the milliner and designer behind the brand N.A.T Millinery, based in Cairns, Tropical Far North Queensland. Her creation “Leto” was awarded 1st Runner Up in the Lillian Frank AM MBE Millinery Award in 2023. Inspired by Leto, the Greek Goddess of Motherhood, the design celebrates Natalie’s journey of motherhood with her daughter Charli.

Driven by a passion for dressmaking, Natalie ventured into millinery, crafting her first piece for a local race day. Her talent was quickly recognized when she won her inaugural millinery competition in 2012. Since then, she has honed her skills through workshops with local milliners, continuously refining her craft.

Drawing inspiration from the vibrant colors, intricate shapes, and diverse textures of the surrounding landscape, Natalie infuses her work with a unique blend of creativity and local flair.
