Couture Hats by Philip Treacy

Chapéus alta costura por Philip Treacy 

Philip Treacy nasceu em 1967 no oeste da Irlanda, numa aldeia rural com cerca de 500 habitantes. Ele era um de oito filhos. Seu pai era padeiro e sua mãe dona de casa. Apesar de ser certamente pouco comum para os rapazes da época, ele era muito interessado em moda. Mudou-se para Dublin em 1985 para estudar moda no National College of Art & Design, onde o seu passatempo era fazer chapéus para combinarem com as roupas que desenhava. Em 1988 ganhou um lugar num curso de design no Royal College of Art, em Londres e em 1990 Treacy terminou-o com honras de mérito e montou um atelier numa cave. Ele desenhou chapéus para Alexander McQueen em Givenchy, para Karl Lagerfeld em Chanel, para Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan e foi premiado muitas vezes como um chapeleiro fabuloso.

Os elaborados designs de Philip Treacy são deslumbrantes, belos e de grandes dimensões. Os seus bem adornados chapéus, geralmente apresentam grandes detalhes, como penas, rendas, diamantes, cetim e cores exuberantes. Este designer favorece as formas menos comuns para as suas criações. Os seus chapéus geralmente parecem-se mais com esculturas surpreendentes do que com acessórios de cabeça.

Philip Treacy was born in 1967 in western Ireland, in a rural village of about 500 people. He was one of eight children. His father was a baker, his mother a homemaker. Although it was certainly uncommon for young boys at the time, he was very interested in fashion. He moved to Dublin in 1985 to study fashion at the National College of Art & Design, where his hobby was to make hats to go with outfits he designed. In 1988 he won a place on a design course at the Royal College of Art in London, and in 1990 Treacy graduated with first class honors and set up a workshop in a basement. He has designed hats for Alexander McQueen at Givenchy, for Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, and for Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan and was awarded many times as a fabulous milliner.

Philip Treacy’s intricate designs are breath taking, beautiful and oversized. His well-adorned hats usually feature heavy detail such as feathers, lace, diamonds, satin and exuberant colors. This designer favors unusual shapes for his creations. His hats usually look more like striking sculptures rather than headwear.
