The early designs of milliner Philip Treacy, who talks about his work and plans for the future.
Dave Fanning visits the fashion department of the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) in Dublin where he talks to 3rd year student, Philip Treacy about his hat designs and his hopes for the future.
Fanning appears wearing a yellow bonnet which was made by Treacy and won first prize in the Kilkenny Design Centre Competition.
At the age of 20 Treacy describes his designs as "not for the faint hearted". Treacy says that he hopes to move in the direction of couture hat design where each creation is designed specifically for the customer.
