TAKE PART IN A WORLD HAT WALK
On Sunday, April 7, 2024, the world will witness a spectacular display of creativity as hat enthusiasts from 14 cities globally participate in the first-ever World Hat Walk. For the first time Berlin is among these cities and invites hat lovers to join the celebration, setting the stage for a remarkable event.
The new unusual event, organized by the well-known Berlin designer of hats and accessories, Tatiana Ashakova, with the support of the Berlin Hoppegarten racecourse, will culminate within the walls of Art City People Café.
*The World Hat Walk Experience*
The World Hat Walk, initiated in Barcelona and marking its 10th year, is a free event open to all in Berlin. Participants, including dogs, as long as they are adorned with hats, take to the streets, showcasing a diverse array of designs. Professional milliners, vintage enthusiasts, collectors, cosplayers, and more contribute to the vibrant atmosphere, making it a truly inclusive celebration.
The walk will take place under the aegis of giving everyone the opportunity for self-expression. In the modern world, a hat is often an attribute of eccentrics who don't identify themselves with the gray masses. Expressing oneself, showcasing one's style, and becoming manifest – the hat march will provide an opportunity for those who haven't dared to step into a new level of self-identification to reveal their inner world through an extraordinary hat image.
The walk will start at 12.00 pm at Brandenburger Tor and will proceed up to the Synagogue in Mitte and will comfortably be welcomed in a renowned Art City People Cafe in Berlin’s iconic Hackmannhoefe, where the contest for “Best style in a hat” will take place and the winners will be announced.
Master Classes and Competitions
Prior to the main event, Tatiana will conduct master classes in Berlin, empowering aspiring hat enthusiasts to craft their designs. A full day master-class will be held on the 17th of March and a half day - on 21st of March, both at Art City People Cafe.
Participants stand a chance to win the coveted "Best handmade hat" prize among non-professionals on April 7 once they join the Hat Walk in their handmade creation.
The competition will be judged by renowned Berlin-based and internationally established professionals known for their distinctive hat styles.
