"Siegfried Hesbacher (known just as Siggi) studied art and design in Germany where he graduated in 1980.
He moved to England and gained essential skills in tailoring, cutting and sewing through hands on experience in a shop on London’s Portobello Road. At the same time he learned hat making by working with Francis Wilson, the theatrical designer, who made head-dresses and hats for stage, films and museums.
In 1982 he sold his first collection of cocktail hats to Harvey Nichols. Since then his business has gradually grown and Siggi now trades from his central London studio and sells to department stores, independent retailers and private clients throughout the world."
