This Millinery Designer Creates The Craziest Headpieces And Hats That I’ve Ever Seen (62 Pics)
Meet Maor Zabar, a millinery/fashion designer. Maor has been making hats for over 10 years, his expertise and craftsmanship are top-tier, and his works are truly remarkable, a true specialist in the art of millinery.
Zabar's works are inspired by daily scenery or dioramas he creates on the head as a sort of escapism in contrast to the sometimes difficult reality of life and brings magic with his naive and playful creations. The works feature a lot of food-related topics, but not only that; you can also find other creations such as flowers, politics, party-related, and other fascinators that will blow your mind.

Maor Zabar's creations are worn around the world by drag queens, fashion enthusiasts, Burning Man attendees, rave fans, people getting married, and many more different people and colorful occasions. A lot of Zabar's works are available for sale on his website.
Zabar's artwork does not end with hats; he has customized several outfits for the winner of the 2018 Eurovision Contest, Netta Barzilai, and her dancers for her performance in the contest, which are recognizable to this day. One of them is Netta's iconic pink kimono. Maor has also done various collaborations and campaigns, exhibited his works in museums, and is also working with various operas and theaters around the world to create stage outfits.
Water lilies series - pink and red lilies.

All of this while running his own studio, which is inhuman in my eyes - Zabar's drive to create and progress is truly inspiring. The headpieces that stunned me the most are his water lilies and orchids series. Both have a unique organic feel to them and their design mimics the original structure of the flowers in nature.
This shows that Zabar does not only design or sketch his art, but also goes into in-depth research about botanical organisms, organic shapes, patterns, colorations, and more. Zabar's lilies have been made by a technique that he invented called 'SinaSilk'.
Maor Zabar has 2 upcoming workshops in NYC this summer of 2023:
