Making a statement

  • • Roxana studied millinery in London
  • • Her hats are made with high-quality materials and entirely stitched by hand
  • • She mixes English techniques and Italian glamour

Born in Romania, Roxana Batog moved to Florence when she was only 19. Her dream was to become a fashion designer, but she needed money for rent, so she ended up being a real estate agent for 15 years. Then in 2018 everything changed when she got a cancer diagnosis and it made her reevaluate her life choices. It was at that moment that Roxana began to rediscover her creative self. She started wearing turbans that she had made herself. But it was only when she sewed her first hat for a wedding that a new world opened up. Roxana enjoyed it so much that she decided to become a professional milliner. She attended a course in London and took another one online from an Australian academy. At the end of 2019 she launched her own brand, Batog.
