Those who love hats can now avoid the frustration of searching for the perfect headwear now that Margo Nickel has brought her millinery skills to the public.  With her she brings twenty four years of experience working behind the scenes of the diverse and demanding New York theatre, film, and dance worlds.  Her long list of credits include working with the acclaimed theatrical milliner Woody Shelp on many Broadway Productions including, Chorus Line, The Phantom of the Opera, Into the Woods, Anything Goes, Jerome Robbins Broadway, and the Christian La Croix designs for the American Ballet Theatre. The 1980's film Wall Street has actress  Daryl Hannah wearing a  design of Margo's own.    Ms. Nickel has also created hats for the runway collections of Bill Blass, Angel Estrada, and Willi Smith.

Margo's own designs have been featured on Good Morning America.

Upon her relocation to the Southwest , Margo was the head milliner for the Arizona Opera Company under the direction of Mr. Glynn Ross. Her work has appeared in Tosca, Carmen, The Magic Flute, and Der Ring des Nibelungen. 

Margo now teaches adults how to create their own hats using professional millinery techniques.
