Viktoria Novak Celebrates 10 Years

The Viktoria Novak brand was born in September 2006 by a dedicated husband and wife duo. After relocating to Sydney in 2012 from rural NSW, Viktoria and Tristen have turned their dreams into a reality and continued to do what they love to do, create beautiful headpieces. 

Viktoria Novak has established a continued presence in the fashion and bridal industries with her intricately detailed pieces and her dedication to ensuring each woman feels the ultimate experience when wearing one of her designs. Renowned for her craftsmanship and winner of multiple “Accessories Designer of the Year” awards, Viktoria has made it her mission to change the way we view Australian millinery trends. Viktoria's designs are mainstays at the races, weddings and other occasions. 

It is a special time for the Novak brand, to reflect on their hard work and how their designs have evolved. "When I first started creating headpieces in 2006 it was all about big feathers, flowers and sinamay. Clashing bright bold colours was a must. As I was establishing my label, it was important for me to show my artistic side by exploring and using unusual materials and textures. It was all about being brave and bold."

Today it's all about the crown. A classic, timeless symbol of wealth and royalty. Viktoria created her first crown in 2013.

Viktoria made Australian history when she was invited to showcase her own solo runway show at New York Fashion Week in 2015. In the same year Viktoria Novak proudly joined the Myer family. "I could only ever dream that a department store would take notice of my work and give me an opportunity to show what I had to offer."

"Without you (my clients) there is no Viktoria Novak. The trust, friendship and love you have shown me throughout the ten year journey is the reason why I do what I do today. I thank each and every one of you who treasures and owes a little bit of my soul." - Viktoria
