Christine A. Moore, owner and designer of Christine A. Moore Millinery has been
creating hats professionally for nearly fifteen years. After studying costume
design and fine arts in college, Christine worked as an assistant costume
designer at the Walnut Street Theater in Philadelphia. There she fell in love
with the craft of millinery. At the close of that season, Christine already had
her first job in the theatrical millinery business apprenticing Barbara Taylor.
That was all it took for Christine to find her passion.
After learning all she could with Taylor, she then traveled
around the regional theater circuit as a freelance milliner. Finally she landed
in New York City where she instantly got the job of assisting Rodney Gordon, one
of the foremost theatrical milliners in New York City. Under Rodney's great
supervision, Christine created hats for many opera, ballet and Broadway
productions including The Phantom of the Opera, Will Roger's Follies
and Crazy for You.
The drive to own her own business however, kept her from
being totally satisfied, so in 1990 she began to sell her own creations to
boutiques in New York and in her hometown of Philadelphia. Her hats were an
instant hit, and in 1993 (when she was happily overwhelmed) she stopped making
hats for the theater and devoted all her time to her new business. In 1998
Christine moved to her new studio and showroom at 110 W. 34th St., suite 1009.
