Gigi Burris Millinery
|
Founded in 2009, Gigi Burris Millinery is a luxury accessories brand based in New York City. Gigi Burris’ interest in millinery was heightened after studying at Parsons Paris and frequently visiting the old world mercerie shops, especially one millinery shop in the Marais. After returning to New York City, she studied under couture milliner Leah Chalfen at Parsons School of Design and then apprenticed with Chalfen in her personal studio. Burris graduated with a BFA from Parsons in 2009, where she was nominated for the "Designer of the Year award".
Since 2009 Gigi Burris has garnered a rapidly growing celebrity following, including Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Angelina Jolie, and Lady Gaga, to name just a few. Her senior thesis collection of hats have gathered much fame worn by Rihanna in a W magazine photo shoot. Burris works closely with stylists, including Karl Templer, Patti Wilson, and Kate Lanphear. Known for her intricate feather and couture handwork, Gigi Burris takes pride in preserving the traditional craft of hat making, hand-blocking each hat over wood forms into modern styles, and combining luxurious materials and couture sewing techniques. Gigi Burris resides in New York and her studio is located in the Lower East Side. Burris was included in the Forbes 30 under 30 Art and Style list in 2013 and was a CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund Finalist in 2014. All hats and accessories featured on SAANS are handcrafted in New York. |
