Irina
Dratva is a freelance accessories
designer and patternmaker, whose clients include
Coach, Still life NYC, and Marc Jacobs, among
others. Last summer's Reed Krakoff pilot collection
showcased her hand-draped headbands and hats.
Irina's passion for hats started with her first
trip to London in 1994: inspired by Top Shop,
upon return she made hats for the artists friends.
Soon she became famous in her native Ukraine for
her casual, understated creations. Innovative
and resourceful, she was working with vintage
and recycling materials producing original collections
and fashion performances.
It was that experience that made her perfect for
the job at Eugenia Kim Hats, where, starting in
2003, she was working on woven hats and headbands.
There Irina created a lot of unique pieces for
celebrity clients and runway collaborations, as
well as many best-selling styles that one could
now find in stores like Barney's and Saks Fifth
Avenue.
Currently residing in Hoboken Irina is working
on DIY hat book. She is looking forward to work
with a vibrant community of like-minded people
and share the tricks of her trade.
