Though hats were once as integral to an outfit as shoes or a watch, formal millinery has been on the decline since the '50s — but that, too, may be about to change. Japanese label CA4LA is at the forefront of this movement, reviving the hat as an essential accessory in the West with an affordable new London emporium. Swedish knitwear prodigy Sandra Backlund has also introduced surrealist-inspired hats and hoods in her latest collection, Ink Blot Test, in bizarre shapes determined by handmade ink blots. Stateside, Victor Osborne Headwear creates pieces inspired by both classic hat styles and modern New York street trends. Founders Victor Osborne and Zachary Barnett assemble their trademark straw fedoras and leather flatcaps in an open storefront in Brooklyn, giving the public a glimpse of a bygone era's millinery techniques.
