Hats off! Hats from the Lars Nilsson Collection

Hallwyl Museum (Stockholm, Sweden)  

Closes June 8, 2014

Countess von Hallwyl, the only child and heiress of a wealthy timber-merchant, she was an avid acquirer of paintings, porcelain, works of the decorative arts and antiques.  Her collection comprises the works at The Hallwyl Musewum, Stockholm.

Like Wilhelmina von Hallwyl, designer Lars Nilsson is a devoted collector. He has worked for Christian Lacroix, and has been Head of Design at the fashion houses Nina Ricci and Bill Blass. Lars Nilsson arrived in Paris in 1987 and studied at the fashion school of the Fédération française de la couture. His impressive collection of hats comprises no less than 270 items, with many highlights from fashion houses like Chanel, Lacroix, Saint Laurent and designers like Philip Treacy. Glamorous, extravagant, sculptural, fanciful, rare – but also quite a few remarkably plain examples from this unique collection is now exhibited at The Hallwyl Museum in Stockholm.

Lars Nilsson, has recently become creative director of Comptoir des Cotonniers and Princess Tam Tam.  He has collected hats and other fashion pieces since 1985.
