Philip Treacy’s spring collection, all curvaceous brims, bold colour and bravura strokes, also features ultra-stylish summer fedoras for females like this number in white straw banded with grosgrain and leather (€698).

It can be found in Aishling Kilduff’s Design Centre in Dublin along with other more playful creations from the Irish milliner.

A major exhibition of his work has just ended in St Petersburg in Russia at the Erarta Museum and Galleries of Contemporary Art. It contained more than 100 items, including hats belonging to monarchs and celebrities.
