Who We Are
London Hat Week began its journey with a week of hat-centered events in 2014, founded by Georgina Abbott of Atelier Millinery and Becky Weaver of HATalk.
While our format has gone through several reimaginings and changes since then, our aim has always stayed the same – to encourage hat wearing, making, networking and learning and to champion the hat industry. We create space for all to express their creativity, from hat wearer to fashion student to professional milliner/hatter.


World Hat Walk
On 7 April 2024, we marked our 10th anniversary by introducing the first ever World Hat Walk. 21 cities and countless individuals around the world participated in an inspirational international showcase of global hat wearing.
The second World Hat Walk took place on Sunday, 27 April 2025, with 58 cities across 6 continents hosting hat walks. Details about the 2026 event will be announced later this year. Follow @worldhatwalk on Instagram for more details.
