Wow Hats at WOW!house 2023:
Millinery Inspired by Interior Design

5 June - 6 July 2023

WOW!house is a unique 500 sq m showhouse, built within the Design Avenue at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour. Its 18 full-size rooms are created with world-class interior designers, working in collaboration with globally recognised design brands and incredible suppliers.

For the 2023 edition, alongside the showhouse, The Design Centre generously hosted an installation of 18 spectacular hats created by British Hat Guild members. Each milliner was paired with a room within WOW!house, and created their hat in response to the room design.

Perhaps more than any other fashion or apparel discipline, millinery has an affinity with furniture and architecture. Hats are, after all, sculptural objects, and milliners are indeed 3-d designers, sculptors, and sometimes even engineers!

WOW!house and Wow Hats were both open from Monday to Saturday, 5 June – 6 July 2023.
WOW!house tickets cost from £10, with a portion of sales donated to TP Caring Spaces.
