Couture
Couture Nicki Marquardt Munich couture blends a sense for the exceptional with a sensibility for materials and masterly craftmanship to produce exclusive fashions for the head. Each individual item is one of a kind and made in the Nicki Marquardt studio in Munich; each individual item is unique and distinctive. Couture objects from Nicki Marquardt Munich are ideas turned into reality. The handwriting, shape and expression of these creations play with interpretations of classic hats and reflect the sculptural avant-garde. Freely evolving shapes, exploring and experimenting with materials and an artisanal finesse, creating a symbiosis between handicraft and art, provide the impetus for Nicki Marquardt’s creative designs.
Our famous hats on famous heads! Couture and custom-made hats for a wide range of occasions for theatre, TV & film productions, for social and corporate events, such as anniversaries, galas, weddings and other celebrations – and of course for your next visit to Ascot.
