With the world still marveling at the Royal Wedding (and indeed it was magical!), how about a look at THE hat designer of the event? It seems everyone who was anyone wore a hat (or fascinator) designed by milliner Philip Treacy. Thirty-six to be exact, including mother of the bride, Carole Middleton, Victoria Beckham and the Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. And just who is Philip Treacy..? He is actually an Irish born milliner who studied journalism at the National College of Art and design in Dublin, and became famous for designing hats seen on the couture runway for Alexander McQueen, Givenchy and even Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel.

Awarded British Accessory Designer of the year five times at the British Fashion Awards, he was also awarded an honorary OBE in 2007, for services to the British Fashion Industry.
And just like Alexander McQueen, Treacy's career as a milliner was given a major boost by Isabella Blow, the former editor of Tatler, who wore many of his unique and spectacular creations. Sadly, the world has lost both Alexander McQueen and Isabella Blow, but their contributions to fashion are still as important today - just look at the Royal Wedding! Isabella would have fit right in. To answer any questions you might have, a fascinator is a headpiece, which is also a style of millinery. Philip Treacy makes BOTH hats and fascinators, and you may be surprised to know that you can buy some of his collection online.
