Diana Thakur aka “The Hat Lady”
It all started when my little sister announced she was getting married and I was so happy for her. Her wedding was in August and decided to wear a summer dress and wanted something for my hair. Thought about hair clips or headband but decided to make a simple fascinator, and it turned out just right for the occasion.
Realized that I had a hidden talent and then a year or so after Covid happened that lockdown everyone and everything. Took it upon my self to study the art, history of millinery.
MY PASSION AND INSPIRATION:
Diana Thakur Millinery is dedicated to designing one of a kind hats, fascinators and bridal accessories. The artistry of hat making is a profound passion of mine always thinking outside the box. My designs are hand blocked to give its unique shape, style and form. Handsewn with the utmost care and attention to detail. My work is never duplicated or mass produced.
My inspiration comes from my mother who taught me to be a successful business woman. My grandmother who taught me at a young age how to sew and crochet.
Sometimes, I get a vision in my mind or get inspired by a movie, and the outdoors.
“Creating a collection takes time and patience, it is perfecting each design – piece by piece and lots of trial and error and the final result is a masterpiece show stopper in itself.”
