Maison Michel’s hats and head accessories – fedoras, caps, boaters, veils, bonnets – pay homage to Maison Michel’s craftsmanship and introduced visitors to some of its most beautiful fashion creations. The installation unveiled what goes into creating hats, from initial sketches to the selection of materials and how they are brought to life in the Maison Michel ateliers.
Since 1936 Maison Michel has imagined hats that are anything but an accessory. A reflection of its period, a dialogue with trends, a design that evolves as rapidly as the head it will dress: this is the mission of a fashion-house with a savoir-faire unaltered, yet constantly re-envisioned.
As a part of CHANEL’s Métiers d’Arts houses, Maison Michel Paris collaborates with prestigious brands; since 2006, it also offers its own eponymous label characterised by the most cutting-edge creative approach.
Priscilla Royer, as its Creative Director since Winter 2015-2016, engages in a reflection reaching beyond the hat to the head that carries it, geared towards the individual and his or her style. The aura of Maison Michel is carried by strong personalities —feminine as well as masculine—, designs that combine innovative technologies, alternative cultural and historical references, wearability and attitude.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. These desacralised objects—in form as well as in function— are versatile and adaptable, and reinjected into a multi-facetted daily life. This way, Maison Michel perpetuates what hats have always achieved: to be a frame as well as a celebration of all faces.” – 2019 Hyères Festival of Fashion, Photography and Fashion Accessories.

The New Métiers d’Art Prize at the 2019 Hyères Festival
A loyal partner of the International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Fashion Accessories in Hyères since 2014, CHANEL brought together members of the jury and friends of the House at its annual dinner. Guests were treated to a private concert by Clara Luciani who was dressed in CHANEL for the occasion.
“I want to be a part of what’s happening”, Mademoiselle Chanel once said. For this 34th edition of the Hyères Festival, that’s the avant-garde spirit CHANEL cultivates by reinforcing its support of young talent through the launch of the Métiers d’art Prize. For 2019, each of the ten fashion designers in competition had a chance to develop a project in collaboration with one of ten houses from CHANEL’s Métiers d’art: Desrues, Ateliers de Verneuil-en-Halatte, Lemarié, Maison Michel, Massaro, Lesage, Goossens, Montex, Causse and Lognon.
A chance for young talents to push the limits of design, this prize was awarded to the best collaboration following the fashion shows. The winner takes home a trophy designed by the goldsmith Goossens and receives the opportunity to produce, with CHANEL’s mentorship, a new creation that will be revealed next year at the 35th edition of the festival.
