Artist, milliner, genius, mentalist, whatever you think of Philip Treacy OBE there is no denying his success & influence in the fantastical headwear world. Adored by the elite of the celebrity world, Philip Treacy'screations have been worn by everyone from Grace Jonesto Victoria Beckham, Lady Gaga, to Naomi Campbelland of course princess Beatricefor theroyal weddingin THAT hat. After studying at Central Saint Martinsin 1988 & with the endorsement of Isabella Blow, Philip Treacywent on to design hats for the heavyweights of the fashion world, including Chanel, Givenchy, Alexander Mc Queenand Valentino. In 2007 he was awarded an OBE in recognition for his services to the British fashionindustry, cementing him as one of the great influential British designersof our time. In September Philip Treacyreturned to London Fashion Weekfor the first time in twelve years to showcase his SS13 collection in collaboration with Swarovski. Inspired by Africa, the show used only black models including supermodels Naomi Campbell, Alex Wekand Grace Joneswho were each clad in clothing from the late king of pop Michael Jacksons very own wardrobe & strutting to a mix of the singers greatest hits. Lady Gagaopened the show, covered in a mysterious fuschia pink burka which collided both crazy & chic into the same concept. Despite the craziness of the catwalk aesthetic, Treacys millinery skills never failed to take centre stage. Mohawk helmets, crystal covered masterpieces, LED-lit body cocoons, egg shaped helmets, oversized fascinators, feathers, structured fabricsand over the top fabulousness galore which was all met with a unanimous roar of applause. When asked why he loves designing hats for English women, he stated, Hats are part of the English culture, part of the language, part of the landscape. There is a fearlessness attached to Englishness. They look very conservative in their tweed hunting suits, but they sure dont want a conservative hat on. England is about possibility. & at the same time fashion is about dreams. The Swarovski crystals, for instance that I am using in my recent collaboration are the very stuff of dreams. They are the essence of possibility.
