About Gigi Burris Millinery
Founded in 2009, Gigi Burris Millinery is a luxury accessories brand based in New York City. Gigi Burris’ interest in millinery was heightened after studying at Parsons Paris and frequently visiting the old world mercerie shops, including a millinery shop in the Marais. After returning to New York City, she studied under couture milliner Leah Chalfen at Parsons School of Design and then apprenticed with Chalfen in her personal studio. Burris graduated with a BFA from Parsons in 2009, where she was nominated for the Designer of the Year award.
Since 2009 Gigi Burris has garnered a rapidly growing celebrity following, including Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Angelina Jolie, and Lady Gaga. Her senior thesis collection of hats have gathered much fame worn by Rihanna in a W magazine photo shoot. Known for intricate feather and couture handwork, Gigi Burris takes pride in preserving the traditional craft of hat making, hand-blocking each hat over wood forms into modern styles, and combining luxurious materials and traditional couture sewing techniques. All hats and accessories featured on SAANS are handcrafted in New York.
