There is no detail, no shape, or proportion that Anna, when approaching a new creation, has not already imagined finished thanks to her immense creativity, facing each creation with new solutions. Anna Zappella is our milliner. From military hats, which follow precise rules of dimensions and decorations, to the most charming hairstyles for ladies of all eras, to the most imaginative headpieces, Anna’s creativity is the perfect complement to each costume created by Francesco.
Nothing is impossible for her. Upon request, she has created gondolas complete with illuminated canopies, and upon pulling back the curtains, one can see the interior with sofas, as well as hats of exceptional sizes, adorned with feathers, decorations, and uncommon colors that, thanks to her innate good taste, find perfect harmony!
In years of experience, she has learned to manage the quirks of the old informant who, for over a century, has been producing hats thanks to steam and wooden forms crafted by skilled carpenters following Anna’s instructions. Having received the most diverse requests, she knows how to approach difficulties and find solutions!
Then there are the creations that arise because she feels them inside herself… sometimes there are hat bases that wander around the Atelier for months, already shaped. Unique shapes that Anna experiments with, and when she decides it’s time to finish them, when she feels they are ready, she works tirelessly, creating hats of timeless beauty, aided by pins of every size, irons with the most unexpected shapes, an inventiveness that knows no bounds.
If you are passionate about fashion, costume, beauty, you cannot fail to have your hat made by Anna, and the experience can only be complete if you develop it together to have the opportunity to get to know the artist who brings your ideas to life!
