milliner to the brave

In a world of fast fashion and patriarchal bullshittery – RENATA CROWE ‘milliner to the brave’ is back with a new twist and a little extra swagger! Her limited edition Top Hats are sartorially subversive – a fashionable fuck you very much. Impeccable in fit and finish – created by hand – one at a time.

Thoughts

Top Hats

Top Hats – as intrinsically powerful as they are feminine – have you ever noticed they are hourglass in shape? They are also not in fashion which is such a relief – if you aren’t ‘in’ you don’t have to fret about being ‘out’ – the difference between fashion and STYLE!

Sartorial Subversion

Having sartorial style and wanting the patriarchy to go FUCK itself don’t have to be mutually exclusive! The Top Hats Renata creates tell a story – some quietly – some screaming from the bell tower – pick your volume and enjoy!

Hand Made

The more AI infiltrates our world – the more we should appreciate things made by hands and minds working as a team! AI has its uses but ‘stay in your lane’ we already have artists, designers and makers!

CLITerally

Feeling HYSTERICAL? the ‘doctor’ is in! Who knew that a Top Hat could afford an opportunity for an anatomy lesson – each hat is festooned with a life size 3D printed clitoris!

The Illuminati has nothing on us – prepare for the rising of the CLITORATI – coming your way.

You don’t HAVE to wear a clitoris on your head. Although it is nice to have the option.

Fuck the Patriarchy

The PATRIARCHY seems compelled to tell ‘others’ what to do and wear! The Dress Act of 1746 also known as the ‘Disclothing Act’ made wearing ‘highland dress’ which included the kilt illegal for men and boys in Scotland. The act didn’t mention anything about women not wearing tartan.
