Martha Lynn is a forward-thinking milliner known for blending traditional techniques with a contemporary twist. Her distinctive creations push the limits of millinery, integrating modern, unconventional materials into her designs.

Martha’s passion for art was sparked early. She spent much of her childhood in her mother’s studio in Roscommon. This led her to pursue a Fine Art degree, specialising in sculpture, at Dublin’s Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design, and Technology. After graduating, she worked as a 3D visual artist in an architectural firm, but her true calling emerged when she studied millinery under renowned designer Aileen Keogan at the Grafton Academy in Dublin.

Her talent quickly led her to internships with legendary milliners Philip Treacy and Stephen Jones in London, where she worked in their design studios on iconic pieces for Valentino and Galliano as well as their own collections. With this wealth of experience, Martha launched her own design studio in Dublin, earning a global reputation for her bold, innovative designs. Today, Martha continues to create in her London studio, where she is recognised internationally for her unique approach to millinery. Most recently, she founded Chapeau! with fellow milliner Lisa Tan. Chapeau! is a prestigious millinery pop up. This year, it was held on Mount Street, Mayfair, and was hugely successful.
