FR Review:
As one of the few custom milliners in New York, Suzanne Newman has carried on the couture tradition in her Upper East Side store. Her hats have a wide appeal, and the fashion-savvy customers of Suzanne Couture Millinery range from downtown fashionistas to sophisticated, uptown ladies-who-lunch. Newman prides herself on a style that is wearable, classic and chic, as opposed to some of the more bizarre creations that have infiltrated the business. Customers report that her hats are very flattering and can be worn on more than one occasion. Newman and her four designers create each custom piece by hand at the Sixty-First Street shop.
Newman began making hats in 1985 when she was a single mother. Under the wing of famed hat designer Josephine Trippoli, Newman honed her craft and eventually bought the business upon her mentor’s retirement. Now a successful Upper East Side staple, Newman regularly makes hats for the Kentucky Derby, Ascot, and royal weddings throughout Europe. But you don’t have to be royalty to wear one of Newman’s creations. We hear many purchase her hats for luncheons, showers and weddings. Her custom veils, mantillas and bridal headpieces are also very popular. Lastly, Newman makes fur hats in the winter that pliable so that you can put them in a pocketbook or a coat pocket.
Work at this level rarely comes cheap, and hats and veils at Suzanne Couture Millinery can range from several hundred to a few thousand dollars and take ten days to two weeks to create. Bridal headpieces cost around a hundred and fifty dollars. However, for designs that have graced the pages of Vogue, W, Harper’s Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Town and Country, Martha Stewart Weddings, and The New York Times Magazine, Newman has no shortage of high-profile customers. Celebrity clients include Kate Hudson, Goldie Hawn, Beyoncé Knowles, Tina Knowles and Drew Barrymore.

"Very old school." “Her hats are wearable works of art.” “The employees there are so charming and service-oriented.” “I’ve had my Suzanne hat for ten years, and I adore it.” “THE place in New York to buy a hat.
