THATS A HAT, is new venture by Philadelphia artist, Lisa Cobb, designer hats are her new exclusive signature. A graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, Lisa embarked on a passionate pursuit into millinery and the adventure is delightful. I caught her designs at Haddonfield Fine Art and Craft Show last summer and was so turned on by my purchase I have since had two custom hats made. Lisa Cobb is ‘one of a kind’ and her designer hats are pure artistry, she models mediums and textiles into fabulous creations.

Having a large head was always a problem for me in the past for original hats, but it’s Lisa Cobb’s specialty, she states “if a creation doesn’t sell I can wear it myself for I have a big noggin” and she wars them beautifully.

I ventured into Lisa Cobb’s unique hat boutique, proceeded to try on at least 20 designer hats and I was in heaven. I was born in the wrong decade, it should have been the 20’s or 30’s when millinery was high fashion and it was unheard of to go out of the house without the full ensemble topped off with the ultimate hat. I am so tired of abusive casual wear, wearing shorts to a fine restaurant or sneakers to a Saturday night show. I am Lucy Ricardo, when it comes to not being able to resist ‘that cutest number’.

The hat is the ultimate statement of elegance and individuality and Lisa Cobb delivers absolutely wonderful creations. Want a door opened for you or a compliment paid, put on a Lisa Cobb hat and wear it with confidence. Times have truly changed; I grew up in the early seventies as a young girl through times of women’s lib in which you opened your own door…..oh how the times are a changing. Wearing an exclusive, Lisa Cobb designer hat makes me feel feminine and eye catching.

Lisa Cobb’s collections are original and hand constructed, employing the use of wools, felts, straws, opulent fabrics and exotic trims, they stand alone as artistic sculptures. Set up an appointment and view her studio and you too will be delighted with her exquisite hat designs with flair of their own.
