"modern-vintage", have been featured in everything from
Vogue,
Marie Claire, and
Glamour, to
W Magazine and the
New York Post.
When you look at some of her creations, like
The Foxhunt, a stingy brim velour
fur felt fedora, custom made and hand crafted with ribbon and feather trim, you'll see why
Lisa Battaglia is sought by high fashion publications, and why she was the milliner commissioned by
Vogue for its hat series at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute and why in 2009, she was the first hatter selected to receive the Hatty Award from
Hat Life Magazine.
Each Lisa Battaglia
women's hat is unique:
The Ashley, for instance, is a velour fur felt floppy
sun hat, with a generous 4 3/4" brim, and is trimmed with a long line of matching pom-poms, a perfect blend of practical and whimsy. At the other end of the spectrum, there's
The Page Boy. Although also hand crafted from the same velour fur felt material as
The Ashley, the hat shape of
The Page Boy is cropped close to the head,
cloche style, with a two-inch brim, and this
fall hat is trimmed with a contrast ribbon and large gold buckle.
Calling her
hats for women "fusion accessories", Lisa Battaglia's deft touch with a velour
fur felt bucket hat creates a fashion piece sweetly named
The Magpie. It's a
classic women's hat you can wear anywhere, with a five-inch crown and two-inch brim, and it's custom made and hand crafted once your order is placed. For another inimitable interpretation,
The Brooklyn, a velour
fur felt fedora with two-inch brim, is outstanding. It's not just the deep crown that gives it the extra edging and depth, there's also a great slim trim in braided leather cording that adds texture and style.
If you're looking for a
riding cap, you're sure to love
The Buttercup. Offered in your choice of three shades, this velour
fur felt cap with matching color trim and two-inch brim needs a little time to hand craft once your order for the custom made
hat is received. For ladies who love
cowboy hats, Lisa Battaglia has designed
The Freeform, a wild west number, warm in fur felt, and available in great-for-fall colors of Mink or Wine.
There are a couple more
fur felt fedoras to round out this selection of
fall/winter women's hats from Lisa Battaglia.
The Swinger is a sexy little velour
fur felt stingy brim fedora. It's got a full five inches in the crown, with a nice grosgrain trim, and a two-inch brim. Because it's custom made and hand crafted, remember to allow a little extra time for delivery.
The Sting fedora, another
women's fall hat in velour fur felt with five-inch crown, has an even stingier brim than
The Swinger, at 1 3/4 inches. The contrast ribbon trim is simple, with a bow at one side, and the look is very good.
