I selected this wonderful feather hat from @snoxhat1 shown at Pure London. It’s a real show stopper I said…“yes, you need great ideas, luxurious materials, humour in abundance, respect and love to make exquisite hats like these” they replied!

I was saddened to hear of the death of the famous Parisian milliner Jacques Pinturier, whose contemporary works of art ‘playing with fantasy’ were always so young and so exciting.

I took photographs of The Queen & Prince Philip at Royal Ascot. Searching back through the years this was his last time I saw them travelling along the famous ‘Straight Mile’ and into the parade ring, where the excited crowds, waved, clapped and sent up a huge cheer!

Our Easter cover shows a pretty & feminine hat in black crinn trimmed with satin ribbon.
So we typed “bonnet” into our search box within The HAT Archive and discovered a variety of wonderful styles presented under that label.
The HAT Archive is available by subscription.

Our Workroom Sketchbook of ‘themed Inspiration’ has always been a sought after section of our magazine. In Issue 56, Rachel Richardson took a contemporary slant on a young, feminine style with her Rockabilly spread.

The HAT archive covered Royal Ascot for 18 years in detail-the hats, the milliners, the ensembles, and ambiance for a wealth of international visitors from around the globe. I doubt that there was ever such coverage of this very British event by one publication!
