Barbara Feinman Millinery is a custom hattery in New York City's East Village. Feinman hats are made by two other milliners using a 100-year-old sewing machine and various materials.[1] FeinmanFeinman studied English at Vassar College and worked 20 years in corporate jobs before taking a millinery class at the Fashion Institute of Technology and switching careers.[2] Her work has been described as elegant and of "impeccable" workmanship with a "dash of whimsy".[2] The storeFeinman has retired and sold her business to her former partner Julia Knox. The business is renamed East Village Hats now and has moved over a block to 80 East 7th Street.[2] Julia Knox has added hat making classes taught by herself and guest teachers from around the world.[3] Julia Emily Knox is an English milliner, trained at FIT New York, she leads a small team of milliners at East Village Hats, where they hand craft the hats on the premises, using traditional tools, methods and materials.[4] Feinman sold her hat designs through retailers until opening her shop in 1998.[2] The millinery store was a member of the nine store Designers of the East Village Association or (DEVA) group. It was located in an area that has "a history of anarchy, counterculture and edginess."[5] The store is unusual in having hats made on site. Feinman works with business partner, Julia Emily Knox and milliner Katherine Carey to "hand-block and hand-craft hats from start to finish using techniques and equipment scarcely changed since the 19th century".[5] Styles range from fedoras to cloches and fur hats,[6] as well as retro film noir and cocktail hats with face veils.[7] The hats start at a price of $250.[1] The store also stocks jewelry, and sunglasses.[5] ReceptionBarbara Feinman Millinery was number four in New York Magazine's 1998 Christmas shopping guide "50 Great New Stores" list and included in the "New York Magazine Shops — A Guide to the Best Stores in New York" in 2000. Customers range from uptown matrons to Japanese tourists.[5] Brookelynn Starnes from the show Cloak & Dagger said she wears Barbara Feinman's Panama-style hats.[8] Comments on hat wearing and buyingFeinman suggests trying hats on when shopping for them because "two hats can look the same, but a small difference in proportion makes a big difference when worn" and to "stay away from small hats if you have big hair" in favor of a "loosely fitting hat that that frames [the] face."[6] Her motto is "If you want to stand out, wear a hat,"[9] and she has said that "There really is no substitute for a handmade hat."[5] ReferencesNotes1. ^1 The Eye; Value proposition March 2009 page 32 Forbes Life 2. ^http://evgrieve.com/2016/06/last-weekend-for-barbara-feinman.html 3. ^http://www.eastvillagehats.nyc/classes/ 4. ^http://www.eastvillagehats.nyc/ 5. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Sandra Jamison Positively 7th Street Dec. 18, 2000 Time 6. ^1 Sharon Bridbord Mad about hats October 11, 2004 Baltimore Sun 7. ^Barbara Feinman Millinery listings New York Magazine 8. ^Lauren Murrow Cloak & Dagger’s Brookelynn Starnes Envies Your Harem Pants Interview May 26, 2009 New York Magazine 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.refinery29.com/shops_we_love/barbara_feinman_millinery.php|title=Shops We Love: Barbara Feinman| last=Teran|first=Andi|publisher=refinery29.com|accessdate=2009-08-09}} External links{{Commonscat}}
