Descriptions

The Patrick Ogilvie Collection consists of approximately thirty-two hats and head pieces designed and made in Brisbane during the 1960s

Following a short career with the Queensland Treasury as a trainee accountant, Patrick Ogilvie moved to Sydney in 1946 where he trained with the milliner, Margot Macrae, and then worked for the milliner and couturiere, Valda Normoyle. In 1947 he returned to Brisbane and operated his own millinery business in a small room at the back of the Gredden's clothing factory in Elizabeth Street. As the business began to flourish he moved to more spacious premises on the third floor of the Rowe's Arcade where he eventually employed thirty-eight staff. The Rowe's Arcade shop was closed in 1972 when the popularity of hats as fashion accessories had diminished considerably
