Mr Treacy is a fashion designer from Ireland who specialises in hats. His hats are now some of the most coveted hats in the world. Mostly popular with Europeans and Hollywood people. He likes to push the limits with what could be considered a hat saying “I have had the greatest pleasure of having the opportunity to challenge people's perception of what a hat should look like in the 21st century. I make hats because I love hats. It's an enigmatic object that serves the human purpose only of beautification and embellishment, and making one feel good, whether you’re the observer of the spectacle or the wearer”. He clearly has a passion for hats and hat making and his work definitely reflects that
This hat of his reminds me of Marie antoinette’s boat hair. I wonder if that was the inspiration. The hats are definitely not practical but it’s definitely beautiful. The black colour gives it a dramatic look almost reminiscent of the black pearl in pirates of the Caribbean. The flyaway parts on the back imply movement and the slightly tilted angel gives the impression of sailing down a wave.
This beautiful butterfly hat reminded me instantly of the butterfly dress that the character effie trinket wore in hunger games catching fire. Witch in itself is an Alexander McQueen dress. This hat gives the impression of the head being engulfed in a swarm of butterflies. As if the head is a flower. The rainbow colours stands out to me since you honestly don’t see much colour nowadays and I do live a good rainbow.
This piano hat has amazing movement. To me it reminds me of a scale with the way my eye runs up and down the keys. Like a piano scale. The hight makes it stand out as well since if it wasn’t tall I think it wouldn’t look as good. It also looks like the hat is made out of plush rectangles. I’ll have to look into it.
Speaking of tall hats this one is beautiful. It reminds me of the ocean and kelp (idk why kelp but hey). The ocean blue colour is amazing with the gold. It contrasts nicely. I also think this is the same model from the picture above. The mesh over the eyes is also interesting to me. It definitely stretches the limits of what a hat is but it’s still beautiful.
Movement the hat lol. The swooping shapes of the hat remind me of action lines in a drawing or animation. The feathery shapes also remind me of birds and flight. The hat looks like the wind is blowing it in one direction. I like that the red lips match the colours of the hat too. It’s the little things.
Finally a hat that reminds me of my favourite fabric (is it a fabric?) lace! Black lace reminds me of mourning and what the victorians wore. I could almost see this being worn to a fancy funeral or if we mourned like victorians nowadays. I like the symmetry. Symmetry can be very beautiful when used right and this is the right place for it. It’s actually a fact the people generally think people with symmetry faces are more beautiful and glasses actually make a face look more symmetrical. I think this hat is designed to do a summer thing.
I love these hats. They are beautiful and intricate. Every detail is thought through. I definitely love this artist and I’d love to own a piece someday. But idk if that will ever happen since they are extremely expensive!

What do a 27,000-year-old figurine, a Bronze Age coil of horsehair, and King Henry VIII’s "minions" have in common? They are all part of the wild, tangled, and surprisingly complex world of millinery.
This week, we’re diving into the history of how we cover our heads. While we think of "millinery" today as the art of the women’s hat, it was once the "department store of the past," selling everything from jewelry and gloves to clocks and "certain stuff."
We’ll trace the evolution of the craft from ancient woven fragments found in the Czech Republic to the high-fashion millinery shops of Revolutionary Williamsburg. Along the way, we explore the incredible 40-hour reconstruction of a 3,000-year-old Scottish hat, the cultural significance of the Native American warbonnet, and the business savvy of Victorian women who dominated the trade long before they had the right to vote.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
The "Venus" Mystery: Why archaeologists now believe those ancient braided hairstyles might actually be the world's oldest hats.
The 40-Hour Hat: A deep dive into the "wrapped twining" technique used to recreate a Bronze Age horsehair masterpiece.
The King’s Shopping List: How much Henry VIII paid for his "bonnetts" (and who his minions were).
The Shopping Experience: What it was like to shop in an 18th-century millinery shop (spoiler alert: there were pastries!)
The Millinery Class Boom: Why classes in millinery exploded in the late 1800s and early 1900s–and why they fell short in creating a career pathway for most women
Whether you’re a fiber artist curious about the special technique used to make a Bronze-age hat or a history buff interested in the economics of fashion, this episode is for you.
