Millinery Class final projects, part one!

My millinery class presented their final projects yesterday, so i've got some great hats to share pictures of!

Kaitlin Fara created this straw fedora with a single divot and a crown fold from polka-dot-knotted straw...

Photobucket
...inspired by this vintage research image of a 1970s fedora variation.

Kaitlin carved this block from blue roofing foam to make the hat.
The hat's band is made from a printed silk jacquard.








Photobucket
This gibus (collapsible opera top hat) was made by Adrienne Corral, who was...

Photobucket
...inspired by this contemporary hat by Topsy Turvy.

Adrienne's still collapses, even though it's got that giant trim element on the front, by use of a baby snap hidden behind it. Check it out!



Fun stuff! More to come, too...!
