She believes that the phenomena of fashion and design transcends generations. Maria has been quoted as saying "If all you can do is reproduce something someone has done, what is the value of designing? Designers should lead and push boundaries."All works are handmade with attention to quality and her pristine catchon detail. Maria believes that a hat is more than an accessory; itis a form of expression and must be worn with sheer confidence.Her pursuit of design led her to millinerywhere she apprenticed i n Paris. Her personal style and passions ledher to open her boutique Le Chapeau Rouge in 1994, creating hatswith her personal flare. Her hats exude feminine style, bold shapesand timeless designs.
