Draft:Carrieanne Jenkinson

  • Comment: The only new references added since the previous decline are two cites of the subject's own website, which obviously contributes nothing towards notability. Considering this, and the number of earlier declines, I can only conclude that the subject is not notable enough to warrant inclusion in the encyclopaedia at this time. To avoid further reviewer effort being expended on this draft, I am therefore now rejecting rather than merely declining this. DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:07, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Still promotional, still no evidence of notability. DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:51, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: There is no evidence of notability. The Bazaar piece is only a brief profile, Vogue provides only a name check, and the last two are retailers. The majority of citations are to the subject's own website, which is obviously not independent.
    The tone is very promotional; please dial back the adulation – your job is to describe the subject, not to 'sell' her. DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:57, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Carrieanne Jenkinson

edit

Carrieanne Jenkinson,[1] often known as Carrie Jenkinson, is a British milliner recognized for her innovative approach to headwear design, which combines traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Her work has been featured in various fashion publications[2] and worn by prominent figures, including Lady Gaga.[3]

Early Life and Education

edit

Jenkinson studied nursing at the University of the West of England (UWE) and worked at the Royal United Hospitals Bath (RUH).[4] Driven by her passion for fashion, she pursued a career in millinery, graduating from the London College of Fashion in 2011.[4]

Career

edit

Early in her career, Jenkinson's designs were featured in fashion magazines such as British Vogue, Grazia, and Tatler.[4] In 2018, she was named one of the top milliners in the UK by Harper's Bazaar.[5]

Artistic Approach and Fashion Design

edit

Jenkinson's design philosophy integrates fine art principles into her millinery work. Her creative process typically begins with hand-drawn sketches, allowing her to explore diverse silhouettes, textures, and embellishments. This artistic foundation informs her ability to create bespoke pieces tailored to individual clients’ personalities and styles. In 2013, she began designing masks for the Elephant Family foundation, founded by Mark Shand. Her lion and butterfly mask designs were featured in British Vogue and worn by esteemed guests at the charity's events, alongside designs by Mario Testino, Vivienne Westwood, and Marc Jacobs.[6] The events, attended by Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort of the United Kingdom (then the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall respectively), raise awareness and funds for elephant conservation. The first event raised over £600,000, and Jenkinson continues to design masks for the annual ball.[4] In 2023, actor Matthew Macfadyen attended the event wearing a panda mask designed by Jenkinson. Jenkinson's designs have been worn by members of the Royal Family, notably Autumn Phillips, who has donned her creations at various events, including the Cheltenham Festival.[4] In recent years, Jenkinson's hats have become sought-after by stylists for musicians worldwide. She has worked with artists such as Lauren Jauregui of Fifth Harmony, Girls Aloud, and designed creations for Lady Gaga's Jazz and Piano residency at the MGM Grand Las Vegas.[4]

Materials, Craftsmanship, and Recognition

edit

Central to Jenkinson's work is her dedication to high-quality materials. She sources luxurious fabrics, feathers, trims, and Swarovski crystals, selecting each component for its aesthetic and functional qualities. Each hat is meticulously crafted by hand in her studio using traditional millinery techniques. Jenkinson gained attention from Charles III (then the Prince of Wales), who met with her to learn about her craftsmanship and commitment to preserving traditional millinery practices.[7] This encounter highlights her recognition within the British craft community.

Collections

edit

While each piece is bespoke, Carrie Jenkinson has also created signature collections, including a Swarovski Collection for Spring/Summer *, showcasing her mastery of incorporating crystals into her designs.[8] Her work has been featured editorially in Vogue Italia.
