London Hat Week celebrates the art of hats in the city that is home to some of the best hat designers in the world.
We began our journey with a week of hat-centered events in 2014. While our format has gone through several reimaginings and changes since then, our aim has always stayed the same – to encourage hat wearing, making, networking and learning and to champion the hat industry. We create space for all to express their creativity, from hat wearer to fashion student to professional milliner/hatter.
On 7 April 2024, we marked our 10th anniversary by introducing the first ever World Hat Walk. 21 cities and countless individuals around the world participated in an inspirational international showcase of global hat wearing.
LHW On Demand: Self-Paced Video Courses
Our on demand classes have been created using footage taken during exclusive courses and workshops with top milliners and designers during past London Hat Week events. You can work through these video classes in your own time. Courses are broken down into units and video lessons and include practical exercises and helpful resources to help you develop your skills.
