Dayna Pinkham designs and constructs her exceptional hats in her downtown Portland, Oregon design studio/boutique. The shop is a unique fixture within Portland, as it is the only operating millinery in the city. Her hats are frequently featured at fashion shows, fundraising auctions, and benefit events. She gives lecture demonstrations on millinery techniques and history to various institutions including grammar schools, colleges and historical societies. In September 2006, Dayna put on her first solo fashion show, ‘A Passage of Hats', which took place on the Portland Streetcar as it moved throughout downtown picking up models at each stop. Currently, Dayna is busy creating her own, original hat blocks with the aid of her new-found block makers, and is excited about the future, hoping to both explore environmental concerns and contribute to pushing the industry out of the past and into the future.
