In the world of fashion there is a valued and difficult to find professional figure. He’s the MILLINER, “the architect of the hat”.
The meaning of the word “Millinery” comes from French language and it means fashion lover. The major talent of a hat maker is creating new trends, realizing accessories that range from simple headgear to real artistic creations, which complete the look of the customer.
