Critics Review
“Lovely… All the most iconic designs are here.“—The Observer
“How did one man change our minds on headgear? Philip Treacy by Kevin Davies celebrates […] backroom moments of Treacy’s career, no less striking than the headpieces he creates… The unseen stories behind all the ‘moments’.“—The Independent
“An usually revealing insight into the designer’s work.“—Harper’s Bazaar
“Revealing […] photos of Treacy at work. He looks determined and serious, but he has a kind face and he’s never a poseur… In short, this is a cool book about a great guy.“—VICE
“The head-topper extraordinaire gets a tip of the cap in the new book… Featuring over 200 images of the milliner’s museum-quality lids, including head-turning snaps of mega-fierce singer and Bond villainess Grace Jones.“—InStyle
“Inside the pages are 200 intimate pictures covering everything from Treacy’s years at 69 Elizabeth Street to the scene backstage at fashion shows to the dignified funeral held for Treacy’s beloved Jack Russell terrier, Mr. Pig.“—The New York Times Style Magazine blog
