Since 1936 Maison Michel has imagined hats that are anything but an accessory. A reflection of its period, a dialogue with trends, a product that evolves as rapidly as the head it will dress. As a part of Chanel’s Métiers d’Art houses, Maison Michel collaborates with a selection of prestigious brands; since 2006, it also offers its own eponymous label characterised by the most cutting-edge creative approach. The aura of Maison Michel is carried by strong personalities – feminine as well as masculine — products that combine innovative technologies, alternative cultural and historical references, wearability and attitude. At the Parisian ateliers, vocabularies are turned on their heads, and norms are shaken up.
