Ruslan Baginskiy
The fashion spotlight found Ruslan Baginskiy via Instagram – the Ukrainian milliner sent a handful of samples to an editorial shoot featuring Bella Hadid and his hats became coveted after one swift post of the model appeared. He launched his eponymous label in 2014 with a range of felt fedoras and what he calls ‘the baker boy cap’ became his defining signature style after he became fascinated with train conductor’s uniforms during a trip to Paris in 2016. He now offers a collection of over 20 styles which are crafted from locally sourced materials such as wool and suede.
