Globally Influenced Millinery Designs Emerge
The recent resurgence of interest in bespoke hats has led to a noticeable increase in globally influenced millinery designs. Designers like Stephen Jones and Philip Treacy are incorporating traditional techniques from Japan and Africa into their pieces. With 25% of milliners now reporting international inspiration, the industry is becoming increasingly diverse.
This shift is reflected in the 30% rise in sales of bespoke hats over the past year.
