Top It Off With Hats By Iris Lohninger

DIYthing had a chance to catch up with Iris Lohninger, a Los Angeles based milliner who is fascinated with hats. We asked her tell us about her style and inspiration for making such awesome hats.

Iris: How shall I describe my style...it's not cerebral, not intellectual. It always starts with vague abstract feelings and a desire to express these feelings and condense them into reality. I pick material that I think fits and surround myself with them, and then I start working on a kind of a prototype. I do sketches, I cut pieces of paper to make a pattern to get a handle on the 3D space. I stop and go and change and take all apart again and so on. It's like composing music. I never give up on a new design. If it doesn't totally satisfy me, I feel challenged and have to come up with new solutions and in the end I'm always surprised about the final outcome! I have so many ideas in my head. I only need to see a few buttons and some fabric and I get the idea! And not to forget all the people who can't wait to see my next creation.That's a thrill for me!!!
