Combining colors, materials and textures, Louise has a unique and intuitive ability to create exceptionally wearable works of art. All of the hats are handmade and trimmed with a stunning array of the finest ribbons and flowers available. While taking inspiration from the past, the hats mirror current trends through their shape and color, keeping the designs at the forefront of fashion. Additionally, Louise Green hats include a patented silk-covered elastic sweatband, allowing for the hats to be variable in head size, comfortable, and elegant. British born and raised, Louise studied fine arts in her university education. Less formally, the streets and people of London instilled a fascination for the richness of the past and a passion for ornamentation and color. By the time Louise came to the United States in 1984 she was able to combine these passions with an intuitive sense of design. Within three years she had begun her journey as a milliner. Immediately the hats were selling at the most exclusive boutiques in Los Angeles. The press praised her as a masterful designer and a prominent drive in the resurgence of hats. Louise Green has just won Millinery Designer Of The Year for the third time. In the annual event sponsored by the Headwear Information Bureau, the New York fashion press and trade executives first distinguished Louise Green for her contemporary view of her own trademark romantic millinery. Since its inception, the business has grown from serving an elite West Los Angeles clientele to include many of the finer boutiques and department stores across the United States and around the world. Louise Green hats are also consistently featured in top fashion magazines and on the heads of some of music and movies brightest stars. At the 9,000 square foot factory in the heart of West Los Angeles, California, Louise Green currently operates one of the most successful high-end millinery companies in the United States. 'I have always loved to wear hats. I realized early on in my career as a milliner that most women had lost the art of wearing a hat with confidence. For so many years, hats were out of favor. Recently, fashion has been all about comfort to the expense of elegance and individuality. With that in mind, I set out to create a line of luscious, romantic hats that are comfortable and easy to wear. Each season, I study upcoming trends in ready-to-wear, looking at clothing silhouettes and color. From that knowledge, I choose the shapes and a color palette that is new and also flattering to the complexion. Trims are sourced from all over the world and put together to create a wearable work of art. Romantic hats are not a necessity, but wearing a beautiful hat lifts the spirit. A hat should be worn with a sense of fun and flirtation! Smile & enjoy! It cant get any better than that!Shipping :buyer agrees to pay sellers shipping insurance and handling charge. ..NO RETURNS.NO REFUNDS ON SHIPPING FEE.PLEASE BE SURE TO ASK ALL YOUR QUESTIONS WELL IN ADVANCE ..INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS EXPENSIVE SO PLEASE MAKE INQUIRIES WELL IN ADVANCE OF BIDDING...PAYMENT MUST BE MADE WITHIN 3 DAYS OR WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO RELIST THE ITEM.PAYPAL ONLY PAYMENT..WILL SHIP TO ONLY PAYPAL CONFIRMED ADDRESS..THANKSPayment :     MOUSER Store Place a Bid!
