France's crafts in focus - April 2019

I loved hats so much I learnt how to create them

Published: 26 March 2019
Author: Connexion jouralist

Modistes let fashion go to their heads

Both chapelier (hatter/hatmaker) and modiste (milliner) are métiers d’art, and the differences between them are subtle: the chapelier works primarily with felt, straw and fabric and produces classic hats for both men and women; while the modiste sees hats as art objects and tends to make unique pieces, usually for women.
