Faced with the allure of a craft-art such as designing and making hats—or anything else one might wear on one’s head—Charo Iglesias didn’t hesitate to leave her teaching job and devote herself body and soul to what had been her passion from the very beginning: hats.
She knows the ins and outs of the profession like no one else. She possesses one of the finest collections of hat forms in the country, and her technique is impeccable. Since settling in Madrid in 1987, she has collaborated with the best fashion designers and created custom hats for important ceremonies, both public and private. Her work has been featured in the most prestigious publications.
Charo understands the importance of tradition in her craft and knows that technique and materials are her greatest allies, but she also knows that innovation is essential and that there is an inherent obligation in any creative endeavor: to reflect the world in which we live.
