About & Contact

My name is Fanny Hellman. I was born in a swedish speaking small town in Finland. I have always liked creating things by hand and as a little girl I dreamed of being a designer and starting my own business. I also love learning new crafts and experimenting with different techniques and materials.

As long as I can remember I always wanted to study something creative. So after primary school I got a vocational upper secondary qualification in textile and clothing sector from Optima in Jakobstad, Finland and a higher vocational milliner education from Tillskärarakademin in Gothenburg, Sweden.

In autumn 2020 I interned at Horisaki Design Ab, a well established hat brand based in the Swedish countryside. And in 2016 I assisted Bea Szenfeld at Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm, Sweden. I have also had an internship at the costume department at a theatre in Finland and worked with sewing handbags for a former handbag company in Finland.

Everything is handmade in our atelier in Finland using classic millinery and seamstress techniques. If you are interested in a custom made design piece, feel free to contact us with your inquiries by sending an email to studio@fannyhellman.com or by filling in the contact form down below.
