Hats Off to HALO STUDIO: A Headpiece That Tells Your Story
I’ve never really thought of myself as a “hat person.” But ahead of Down Royal Ladies Day, I found myself doing something new — booking an appointment with milliner Kerry Freud at Halo Studio in Dromore. I had a lilac dress ready and wanted something small, maybe even subtle, to finish the look. I didn’t expect to walk away feeling like a million dollars.
More Than a Hat
The moment I stepped into Kerry’s studio, everything changed. Her creative energy is infectious, and her designs? Each more stunning than the last. I tried on one hat, then another, and something shifted. I felt more confident with each try — from reserved to bold, from wanting to blend in to being ready to stand out.
Eventually, I landed on a striking dramatic lilac and silver headpiece that elevated my entire look. It was light, elegant, and incredibly comfortable — so much so that I forgot I was even wearing it.
It’s Not Just Fashion, It’s Storytelling
What sets Kerry apart is her approach. She isn’t just making hats — she’s telling stories. Each headpiece is handcrafted and personal, built through a one-on-one creative process. From feathers and florals to structure and silhouette, everything has intention.
“For me, hats are characters,” Kerry told me. “Each one tells a story — and that story belongs to the person wearing it.”
This creative magic comes from Kerry’s background. Growing up surrounded by creativity and inspired by her late father and talented mother, she’s always had a passion for beauty, personality, and boldness. You can feel that in every design.
Finding the Right Fit for You
Trying on a Halo hat isn’t about vanity — it’s about finding the right fit for your personality. There are no pins, no discomfort, no rules — just a chance to step into a version of yourself you didn’t know you were ready to show.
I left Halo Studio that day feeling transformed. Compliments rolled in — “You look amazing!” and “That hat!” — but more than that, I felt amazing.
If you’ve ever thought hats weren’t for you, trust me — Kerry will change your mind.
