Does it get quieter after the Kentucky Derby is finished? Yes. Am I sitting around without any hats to design? The answer to that is a resounding “no”. Unlike many milliners who design only for 3 months out of the year, I am open for 12 months of the year. Fortunately or unfortunately, I am utterly addicted to hats and designing them.
Today, I am doing a hat for client who annually attends the Belmont, which is the last leg of the Triple Crown. I did 2 hats for Ascot last week. In addition, I did 5 hats/fascinators for the Preakness, which will take place this Saturday.
A big trend that I have seen is people wearing more fascinators to the races and events in general. It’s a fun change and a throwback to earlier days. Here is a recent fascinator that I designed and a photo of it on my client.
