About the Author: Philip Treacy (b. 1967) graduated in 1990 with an MA in Fashion Design from the Royal College of Arts in London. Treacy was discovered by the then style editor of Tatler Isabella Blow. He soon became, and has remained, the milliner of choice for many top fashion designers, including Alexander McQueen, Karl Lagerfeld, and Valentino. Treacy's unique creations are hand-made to order for the likes of Grace Jones, Victoria Beckham, Madonna, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the daughters of Prince Andrew. He has designed hats for films, including the Harry Potter franchise, and has also developed ranges for high street fashion outlets. Treacy is also the first milliner to have been invited to have his own show during Paris couture week. Treacy is credited with changing the perception of hats and accessories in fashion.
