A Special Section in honor of Hollywood's
Professional Designers and Costumers

The heart and soul of Baron Hats is our creation of costuming for all elements of the media. And that means we have the unique honor of working VERY closely with the top designers and costumers in the world! We are proud of our very special relationships with these true talents (and sometimes unsung heroes) of Hollywood! On a day to day (and sometimes hour to hour) basis, they are asked by their production companies to do the impossible, and they always come through! They are exasperating, demanding, uncompromising, stubborn perfectionists, who are constantly given inconceivable challenges of time, budget and schedule, and therefore throw at us, here at the Baron Hats Studios, the same inconceivable challenges of time, budget and schedule… and we love them for it!    That’s because we truly embrace an impossible challenge. Maybe it’s because we have such boundless respect for what they do. But, actually I think it’s because we’ve been accused of being exasperating, demanding, uncompromising, stubborn perfectionists ourselves! Which is probably why we get along so well. We’re kindred spirits!  Therefore this special “Art of the Costume” section of our website is dedicated to these great men and women, who not only have created so much visual magic on the screen, but who, with their innovative imaginations have shaped the “look” of our generations, constantly changing the way we think, look and dress! More eras of the history of our country, if not the world, can be traced to the trends set by what these artist create, first in their heads, then on paper, and then with fabric. Congratulations to Oscar™ Nominees for BEST COSTUME DESIGN We're Proud to have created the hats for these wonderful Motion Pictures.

They are the true “historical barometer” of yesteryear , the present and the future. 

Take a look, for example, at our “Classic Reproductions” , or see some of their amazing history in our “Historical Hat Sizes” and “Historical Production Notes” section to see what we’re talking about! 

“The Art Of The Costume” will be a continually updated section. We will be highlighting and profiling the greatest designers working today, along with stories on how they actually go from the writer’s descriptions, to the director’s desires, to the producer’s budget restrictions… to their own drawings, to their working with our craftsmen to create the final product. You get a glimpse of this fascinating world in our ever changing “Costumer's Tour Online Slideshow”.

And to understand just what we here at Baron Hats do to keep these designers happy, check out some of our own behind the scenes features, like “History Recreated”.

Yes, we at Baron Hats… take OUR hats off to the visionaries known as Designers and Costumers. We salute you! And we hope this section does justice to all the talent, hard work and dedication that you continue to give to your craft!
