Debbie Vayanos is a Lake District-based milliner known for her vibrant, bold designs, striking silhouettes and love of colour. She creates statement pieces that redefine modern millinery.

After a successful career as an award-winning graphic designer in London, Debbie followed her passion for millinery, training under renowned milliner Katherine Elizabeth before launching Raven Millinery.

Now working from her Lake District studio, she applies her artistic vision and craftsmanship to create statement-making hats and headpieces, custom-made fascinators, bridal crowns, couture hats, and race day headpieces.

"My love of hats began as a child, sneaking into my grandad’s room to try on his collection of flat caps. Those early moments of self-expression and play still inspire me today, shaping my passion for creating one-of-a-kind, statement-making headpieces."

Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, combining traditional millinery techniques with a fresh, modern approach. Inspired by art, sculptural forms, and the organic textures of her surroundings, Debbie designs striking, one-of-a-kind pieces that exude confidence and individuality.
