Philip Treacy’s designs contain multitudes. Consider the breadth of his subject matter—delicate, unfurling orchids; Warhol’s Campbell’s soup cans; luna moths; coral—and his clientele, which includes Princess Beatrice, Lady Gaga, Grace Jones, Lorde, Camilla Parker Bowles, and the late Isabella Blow. He’s lent his eye to ready-to-wear talents from Alexander McQueen to Ralph Lauren, and now his prolific career is the subject of a new Rizzoli tome, dubbed simply Philip Treacy: Hat Designer. In honor of the lushly illustrated book’s debut, we’re looking back at 20 of the milliner’s most awe-inspiring chapeaux. While you may not easily be able to swing them as holiday gifts, a copy of the title will come in a close second.
