Milliners Guild and New York City Fire Museum Collaboration
Milliners Guild + Fire Museum

 ***MEDIA ADVISORY***

The Milliners Guild is a non-profit organization connecting milliners and hat lovers. They uphold the art of handmade millinery in today's market of mass production.

In celebrating September as Textile Month in New York City, the Milliners Guild is collaborating with the Fire Museum with pieces handcrafted by members in various materials, each an individual homage to the bravery and passion of firemen throughout history. The pieces will be on display starting September 15th.  The installation will remain in place for two weeks only, housed on the gorgeous second floor of this hidden gem of a museum, amid the Turn-of-the-Century helmets and archival fire apparatus that sparked the idea for this "collection". Hats are hot stuff, and the Museum's expansive collection of international helmets and headgear lends itself to creativity.

The New York City Fire Museum is proud to be a part of this artistic city-wide effort to showcase unique approaches to the unusual, the artistic, and the innovative ways to incorporate textiles in design and history.
