Marine & Deerfield on Madonna

Madonna wearing Black Panama Hat with Polka-dots by Marine & Deerfield

It came as a beautiful surprise to me to find out that Madonna’s Stylist had chosen some hats from East Village Hats where my hats are on sale. I didn’t know about it at the time, but some time later, Julia Knox, milliner and owner of East Village Hats, told me my hat was chosen by Madonna to keep and to wear on an upcoming magazine spread.

As the Days unfolded from that little bit of information, which on it’s own was amazing, I found out through other sources and being tagged, that indeed, Madonna was wearing my hat (her hat), in an interview in Rolling Stones Magazine, and was featured on the Cover of the Magazine.

Then yesterday I found out that the footage from the shoot was being used for her new Music Video (see below).

Since the beginning of her career Madonna has had a huge impact on the world through her music, attitude, clothing and lifestyle. She is probably one of the most influential female artists ever. Her legacy goes beyond music, because her success and contributions helped pave the way for other female artists. Her bold music videos and world tours changed the music scene for women. So many artists “borrowed” from her creations. Camille Paglia called her a “major historical figure”.

I guess I’m drawn to her because of her polarizing character. She pushes buttons. She takes no crap. She does what she wants. She doesn’t care what you think. At least she doesn’t show it. Women are damned and criticized for their strengths and power. This is a time for women to celebrate our unique voices no matter how different, or how much it pushes our buttons.

All of these reasons and more, are why this is such an honor.

ps… only the hat with the polka-dots is a Marine & Deerfield.

EventsSuzanne WarfieldComment

I can't believe it's taken me three months to post information about the event I held at my home back in December. Co-hosted by Tina Lipman and Victoria Sullivan, we celebrated the launch of Marine & Deerfield.Let's just say it's been a busy few months sense then.  

A fabulous group of Ladies at the Launch modeling M&D hats.

It was a really fantastic night, with ladies trying on hats, and going home with one of their own.  I'm about to do another event, which I'll post details to soon.  This time a Trunk Show, at a local boutique.

Stepping Back in Time in KÖLN

inspired bySuzanne WarfieldComment

When visiting Köln (Cologne, Germany), I happened upon this amazing vintage inspired Hat Maker, Jürgen Eifler.  My jaw dropped, my forhead stuck to the window, as I gazed lovingly through the windows of the shop.  I was smitten. In love.  Could I move in?  Can I live here?  This was everything I wanted.  Look at the blocks! The materials! The Decor!  Perfect.  See for yourself.

As you can see. Amazing. Vintage. Working. Wow.  

A Hatter on Portobello Road

Mad hattersSuzanne WarfieldComment

While in London this past August (I was taking a personal one-on-one Millinery course with Chloe Scrivener,) I was able to take a Friday off and walk the long lovely route of Porabello Road. What an experience. So much to see, and so many treats.  While walking through, I ran across Sara Colacicco, of Sara Tiara Hats, an amazing Hatter.

She was busy attending to other people so I didn't have a chance to stop and talk with her. It wasn't until later when I looked her up on the internet that I read a little bit about her background, and looked further into what she is doing.  She creates diverse, one-of-a-kind pieces, using unusual fabrics and accessories, including tweed and cashmere, antique lace and feathers.  It's a bit romantic, scottish highlands, fairies, with a 20's flapper vive as well.

Springtime in Seville: Rediscovering an Old Love

Enjoying a break in Seville, Spain

Enjoying a break in Seville, Spain

Last spring while traveling through the beautiful city of Seville, Spain, I discovered a shop full of the most amazing hats I'd ever seen.  I knocked on the door, and inquired within.  What, where, how!  I wanted to know more.  It turns out the shop, was more of a studio space, where she made and ran her business of making hats.  Hats for custom order and for the spanish runways.  The Milliner was Patricia Buffuna.  

I've always been a hat girl. Ever since I was little. But it never occurred to me that I could make hats.  It still didn't at that time. But, it wasn't long before I took my skills as an artist and seamstress, and applied them as a Milliner.
