All about Hat Making

I am attempting to pick out only the best articles on millinery in the news and on the web - looking for good photos or good articles. Here is the first of two posts on Millinery in the past month in the media.

• DIY City Magazine has an article on Tracy Thomson, a well known New Orleans milliner. She sells her handcrafted hats and accessories from her Kabuki Design Studio at the Dutch Alley Artists Co-op. Tracy’s background is in costume design. She makes a wide variety of hats from straw sun hats to funky cocktail hats and fun Mardi Gras hats too.

• FashionClub.com Daily: reports on the Hat of the Moment: The Fascinator. Sarah Jessica Parker made fashion news by wearing a fascinator to the premiere of the Sex & The City movie. A “fascinator” is a fancy headpiece usually adorned with feathers, flowers, or beads and attached to the head with a hair comb, clip, or headband.
• The denver polo classic had a few quite spectacular hats to show and there is a slideshow of the millinery.
• An article on getting your racewear ready for the cairns cup.
• Big Al customises cowboy hats and has done so for more than 40 years - there is both an article and a video in this story.
• This one is actually a blog article on bridal headwear and millinery in fashion at the moment - it is quite a good read.
• A hospice lunch with a hat parade I really like the opening quote in this article “A hat is the difference between looking adequate and looking your best.”

• Here is an article on Paris tips and trends, with a focus on wedding wear.
• Here is a web article on millinery hot blocks - it is more an advertisement for sale but it has so good information and some nice photos.

• An article on church hats with a millinery church hats photo gallery

• DEL MAR – Opening day at the Del Mar Racetrack featured a parade of elegant creatures bred to be winners. And then there were the horses, too. There is also a millinery picture gallery for the opening day.
