Ready to take your headwear game to the next level? Mühlbauer's Spring/Summer 2025 collection isn't just about hats—it's about finding your ultimate fashion partner-in-crime. Because, let's be honest, everything's better with a "plus one," especially when that plus one is stylish, versatile, and guaranteed to turn heads.
This season, Mühlbauer invites you to play matchmaker with an eclectic mix of fabrics and designs that are as daring as they are delightful. Picture this: French lace getting cozy with Panama straw, or a washed linen cap hooking up with a Parasisol brim. It’s like fashion speed dating, where every combo is a match made in millinery heaven. And let's not forget the ultra-fine ripstop fabric teaming up with a marsh grass visor—talk about an unexpected power couple!
But here's the real magic: these pieces don’t just look good together, they actually make sense together. One’s got your back (or rather, your head) when the sun's blazing, while the other shields you from those surprise summer gusts. Yet, like any great duo, they can still shine solo when needed.
Mühlbauer's hats aren't just accessories; they're wearable art, handcrafted in the heart of Vienna. Every piece is steeped in artisan tradition, where the highest quality materials meet meticulous handwork.
Because, let’s face it, the best results don’t come from cutting corners—they come from creating with care.
And with Klaus Mühlbauer, the fourth generation in his family to take the helm, at the forefront, these hats are as contemporary as they are timeless. His collaboration with designers Nora Berger and Selma Klima ensures that every collection is a bold blend of old-world charm and modern flair.
And the world has noticed. Mühlbauer’s creations, marked by the iconic curved M trademark, are coveted across the globe. More than half of the hats leaving their Vienna workshop make their way to international destinations, gracing the shelves of the most renowned stores worldwide. It’s no wonder icons like Brad Pitt, Meryl Streep, Madonna, and Yoko Ono have been spotted sporting these masterpieces.
Mühlbauer’s influence doesn’t stop there. Their collaborations with design labels such as Kenzo, Junya Watanabe, Nigo, Akris, and Vanessa Bruno, as well as artists like Erwin Wurm, highlight their commitment to pushing the envelope in headwear fashion. These partnerships are a testament to Mühlbauer’s dedication to continually evolving and redefining what a hat can be.
So, whether you're pairing a scarf with a hat or a beanie with a brim, Mühlbauer's new collection is all about finding your perfect plus one—because why settle for one when you can have the best of both worlds? And who knows, with these mix-and-match marvels, you might just find yourself having more fun than you ever imagined. After all, they say two heads (or hats) are better than one!
