Jenny Mathison-Foster has a double major in art history and design with a fiber emphasis. She worked for 20 years with Crate & Barrel as a designer, working in the store and at corporate in Chicago. There she immersed herself not only in spacial planning but eagerly learned to recognize and curate great design in everyday objects. While still at Crate & Barrel, she
read an article on hat making, and was amazed at how they were made. The process felt familiar as it contained aspects of both design and fiber arts. It took nearly 5 years of searching to find classes in millinery, but when she did, she knew that hat-making felt like home.
15 years later, starting with 125 vintage wood hat blocks, Jenny set out to open a bespoke millinery shop and atelier. She opened a shop in downtown McKinney, Texas in 2015. In 2019 she closed her shop to concentrate on her bespoke creations. The new atelier is in the historic Cotton Mill less than a mile from her old shop.
