Every day, I like to make hats that make people dream.

I want to excite the eye through hatmaking.

Hats are really for ultimate occasions, so when I make one, I try to do something different, something noticeable.

There's a technicality to designing and wearing hats. A hat is balancing the proportions of your face; it's like architecture or mathematics.

I wanted to do something where I could hang my hat.

I used to think that I wanted to be a hat maker, but I don't think that would have worked out.

Try on 100 different hats if you can, until you find the one that suits you best. It's a trial and error thing.

I have thousands and thousands of hats. Some are the most outrageous hats in the world. They are my disguise. I hide beneath them.

I used to have a hat obsession, but unfortunately for me, I have a tiny head, which means most hats don't fit very well. I do love them, though.

Hats are attached to special moments in people's lives - weddings, or the races. In difficult times, people still get married; they still want to look their best.
