TALENTED HEADWEAR
AND ACCESSORY DESIGNER NEEDS REP AND MANUFACTURER
We recently met with headwear designer Yuka
Hasegawa at her design studio in New
York City. It was a real treat to see her wonderful
hats and T-shirts. This woman is a real talent
and is ready for the big time. Her hats have been
bought by celebrities, and retailers such as Barney’s
and Isetan in Japan. Her designs have been in
museums in Paris, Tokyo and New York and she won
the Kyoto Prize in Japan. Yuka just won a Milli
Award for her crochet straw hat with scallop edged
and hand dyed silk flower.
Yuka is looking for a sales representative
or headwear manufacturer to help
bring her hats to retailers. She also wants to
design a line of moderately priced hats for a
hat manufacturer under the label Yuka NY. She
is ready to design and make cut and sew hats for
someone.
If you are looking for a private label hat designer
contact Yuka at
Yuka design at 888 8th Ave 17J, NY,NY 10019 or
call: 212-265-6306

Yuka was also nominated for a 2006 accessory
award from the Fashion Group International.

If you thought the fashion industry had gone
to the dogs you were wrong.
