Since opening Edna Mae’s Millinery & Bridal Studio in 1989, local Newport resident Jamie Kurtis has designed hats for two Presidential inaugurations, the Kentucky Derby, Ascot and Cirque Du Soleil. Located at 140 Spring Street, Edna Mae’s is named for Kurtis’ late Grandmother, Edna Mae Thorn, who grew up in a time where no matter where you were going or what you were doing you wore a hat to complete your ensemble.
