Discovery: an amazing milliner
Albertus Swanepoel, New York City based hat designer has done work for many tip top designers – Thakoon, Marc Jacobs, Jason Wu, Phoenza Schouler to name a few. His website design is really fantastic too! Check out ‘Folded.” Its a hat style on his ‘creation’ page. Very modern with vintage undertone, I like. Recently did a fedora for Jcrew and sold out. In 2011, he did a 14 piece gig for Target, the limited edition was on sale for under two months and got rave reviews. Here’s one for the adventurous type called Tabitha.
Also his fedora shape, which he creates using an original Forties block, is a signature.
