Brookes Boswell Millinery New York City has a long tradition of milliners. Millinery can be defined as “the designing and manufacture of hats” distinguished by “the craft of hand blocking and hand sewing”. In the early 20th century, Clinton Street on the Lower East Side was known as “Millinery Row” and had as many as 16 milliners packed into each block from Houston to Grand Street. These milliners would create elegant hats for the throngs of cultured, high-society ladies who frequented the city. All images copyright Brookes Boswell Millinery
