Milliner Justin Smith is rapidly making a name for himself (at Style.com no less!) with his handmade head ornaments. Moving from owning a successful London hair salon seems to have been a breeze, after a few short years he debuted a collection at London Fashion Week. While Philip Treacy is a genius, it’s nice to see another bold milliner coming out of the U.K.
His hats (for both men and women) are all saucy wee accessories, ready to dress your outfit up. I’m particularly loving the exaggerated beret. As Mr. Smith remarks in a Dazed Digital interview, in 10 years he sees himself as “tired”… and no doubt very successful!

i can’t remember where i saw his work, but i remember falling in love.
deeply, in love.
i love hats. one day when i have my own money (and a lot of it) i shall have a hat closet.
Oh a hat closet, that would be amazing! I’ve been seeing quite a few vintage hats recently, it’s very tempting to start a collection.
