Hats for Everyone!

Last weekend we were awed and mesmerised by the weird and the wonderful display of hats, headpieces, fascinators and feathery caps on display at the Galway races…not to mention the sailing boat-come-headpiece that won top prize on the day, bound to keep some lucky chiropractor busy for a while!

There seems to be a massive demand for these handcrafted beauties –where once a hat was only worn to a wedding or the races –they now seem to be the ultimate accessory and the less showy fascinators can be the perfect finish to any outfit. What I love about the craft is how some milliners incorporate nostalgia with a modern twist such as the fabulous Rebekah Patterson who is based in Kilkenny city.

Her striking collection is fresh, exciting and totally unique. Rebekah custom makes pieces incorporating the clients shape face, colouring and personality – and of course matching it up to the rest of your special outfit – ensuring that every headpiece has you stamped all over it!

Check out one of her fab head-pieces above paired with a Perk Up! 70s dress.

As well as her expert millinery skills, Rebekah works on a unique range of vintage and reconstructed garments and accessories using embellished fabrics such as wool, velvet and silk. So if you’re out and about in Kilkenny city, make sure to pop by and see check out this fantastic collection!
