Philip Treacy Treacy is widely considered the most famous living milliner. He was the first designer to show a collection dedicated to hats during Paris Couture Fashion Week in 2000 and has gone on to win British Accessory Designer of the Year five times.

Recognised early on as a milliner of outstanding technique and originality, Treacy creates hats that are often oversized and striking. He likes working with feathers, which he twists, curls and singes into fantastic shapes such as a two-foot high sailing ship or into delicate feather bonnets, which wrap around the face.

Many of his hats resemble sculptures, with balance playing a key role.

Treacy has created vast, concave straw discs which point upwards, huge basket weave platters attached to a tiny satin cap and shirred satin in huge spirals and oyster shapes which frame the face. A master craftsman, Treacy blends elements of surrealism, mathematics and abstract art into his hat making. philiptreacy.co.uk 69 Elizabeth Street, SW1W 4AS Tel 020 7730 3992 7
