Philip Treacy is a hard-working star, he is rich, famous, talented. His hats are sold worldwide and make their creator and designer happy. Due to Isabella Blow in his life started a new period – the period of success and world’s recognition. She became his muse, she can be seen at any picture, any hat. She is his best model, almost all his hats were made to her. He fell in love with her attitude to life, with her boldness and unusualness. She was not afraid to wear a hat in a completely new design and it made them both very popular. He adores his work and Issie. Philip, in his turn, made life of Isabella more interesting, he brought fame to it. She became recognizable because of his hats. It is a never-ending story, a story that is worth telling and noticing. A lot of people are still wondering what he had find in her? It is a tricky question. Actually, I have seen only pictures of her, but one I’ve heard her voice on the radio – and it was magnificent, even charming.

G-Hotel and Philip Treacy.pgPhilip Treacy is a famous in all over the world hat designer. This outstanding man was born on the 26th of May, 1967 in Ireland (Ahascragh, County Galway) in a large friendly family – parents, seven brothers and a sister. In his childhood he was fond of watching the weddings, as there was not much to do at this small village. Now his permanent place of living is London. Philip started sewing when he was only 5-years-old and that was what he liked doing. His first hats and dresses were made for sister’s dolls and other toys. Materials were various, Philip’s mother had ducks, chickens and other poultry, so the boy used everything: fabric, feathers. Once their neighbor asked: Is it strange for a boy to sew dresses for dolls? And Philip’s father answered, yeah, but if only this can make our boy happy!

In 1985 Treacy went to Dublin and studied there at the National l College of Art and Design, and namely there he started making his famous hats, but, of course, they were just a successful addition to clothes. In 1988 Philip got a place at the Royal College of Art. He was a lucky dog, they don’t have a hat course, so they made experiments on Philip and they both the College and Philip succeeded.

In 1989 he met his future muse – Isabella Blow, she was getting married and chose a medieval theme for her wedding and she didn’t have an appropriate wedding hat. Philip was stunned – Issie was the first person to whom pearls and veiling was completely unnecessary while making a wedding hat.
