For so long, people thought Dorfman was about selling hats. But really, we’re about our hat community. You see a hat is just an accessory, but our millinery community is fostered by the artisans that hand make our hats, local shops that display our creations, and our customers’ stories who wear them with distinction. This is coupled with our relentless commitment to service”stilled by our founder, Jack Dorfman. Fashion trends are in a constant state of motion, but happy retail partners and valued customers are a constant for us.
JOHN CALLANAN VICE PRESIDENT OF DESIGN
MEET THE DESIGNER
I graduated from NYC’s FIT-Fashion Institute of Technology’s Millinery department in 1984, and I have never tired of introducing American ladies to the fun and mystique of wearing romantic hats. Be it at the beach, a special occasion, or as a protection against the elements, a SCALA hat adds a sense of style and mystery.
After graduating, I initially set up my workshop in NYC, where I have made hats for NYC Opera’s repertoire like Rigoletto (1988), various Broadway shows, and movies such as Working Girl (1988) with Melanie Griffith, Eight Men Out (1988) and it’s stellar ensemble cast, Sommersby (1993) with Richard Gere and Jodi Foster, and The Birdcage (1996) with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane – to name a few!
In 1995, I joined Dorfman Pacific Hat Company (now Dorfman Milano) as their first in-house designer. I have endeavored to use my design experience to design on trend, wearable, and sellable hats.
At SCALA Hats, we know our customer and we design with her in mind. She is understated and chic. I like to design hats that are elegant and timeless, not overly cluttered with excessive trims and ornamentation. I strive for clean silhouettes that enhance the wearer’s confidence and style. A SCALA hat should enhance, not distract, from the wearer’s beauty.
A hat is a very special accessory. It delivers instant glamour. I love that hats can say many things about the wearer from “look at me” to “leave me alone”. What will you say?
