A fashion statement for your head
- • Radu’s hats are made from straw, or rabbit or beaver felt
- • He adorns them with a horseshoe nail, which he uses as a signature
- • He started practising the craft as a hobby, but soon turned it into his profession
Radu Itu opened his studio in 2018, after spending several months in the workshop of a master milliner in Bali. He carried on learning his craft from several local artisans once he was back home in Romania. Ambitious and optimistic by nature, he translated his rebellious and adventurous spirit into the style of his workshop, The Wild Hatter. He has been passionate about sports since childhood, and fashion has been in his blood since he started modelling. Radu accessorises a lot, and millinery became a natural expression of his artistic vision. Using old techniques, he creates pieces that impress with stylish designs and make the hat a defining statement accessory. Every day, he spends many hours in the studio, where he experiments, bringing new creations to life.
