Royal Ascot, The Derby, Polo in the Park – are these high society events about the horses or the hats?
Milliner in Residence at The Milestone hotel, Louis Mariette, knows hats. With The Milestone’s Horses, Hats and High Society package, guests will be treated to a consultation with Louis and choose creations from his ready-to-wear collection. He is also available to design a custom hat if you want something truly unique.
Celebrities wear hats to horse sporting events
Louis’s clientele includes Jerry Hall, Alek Wek, Jodie Kidd, Isabell Kristensen, Sophie Dahl, Joan Collins, Dannii Minogue, Lady Gaga, Paris Hilton and Kate Moss.
Once you have your hat, you’ll need to travel in comfort and style to the horse races or the polo field. The Milestone will provide a chauffeur-driven Bentley to take you there and back.
The night before the big day, and the night after, you’ll stay in one of their luxury rooms, with a bottle of Joseph Perrier Champagne in your room and a full English breakfast on both mornings.
