Gigi Burris Ohara, founder of Gigi Burris Millinery, describes her personal style as “elegant, rock ’n’ roll, austere”—an aesthetic reflected in the sculptural, exquisitely crafted hats she creates at her New York atelier. Growing up in Central Florida, she developed an early appreciation for vintage fashion, becoming a regular at her local Goodwill, where “there were so many vintage treasures from the retirees.” After studying at Parsons and discovering the romance of traditional millinery during a semester in Paris, she launched her namesake label in 2012 and became a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist in 2014. Today, her designs are beloved by fashion insiders, while her nonprofit Closely Crafted champions the preservation of American craftsmanship. Burris's own collection of vintage hats has grown through years of flea-market discoveries, gifts from friends, and pieces passed down through generations. “I have this ever-evolving, ever-growing collection of vintage hats,” she says. “Each one is a treasure.” For The SIL, she's parting with a selection of those treasures, from elaborate feathered creations to a Stephen Jones for Marc Jacobs cap she saved her pennies to purchase after seeing it on the runway.
