Critique of the Ross Classics Collection by Hatspiration by Iphie Smith

Milliner Ifechukwude Smith’s Ross Classics Collection makes an impact in the world of millinery. With its unique color palette and pop up designs, the collection demonstrates that Iphiesmiths signature and craftsmanship is keen on details.

However , while it is successful in creativity, there are areas where there would have been some adjustment that could enhance its useage.

The collection’s use of great and bold colours like vibrant red, Royal blue, and timeless black always attracts attention. The structured crinoline designs create a sense of dynamism, ensuring each piece standout.


The meticulous craftsmanship of Iphiesmith’s years of experience are evident in the structure of her designs. The layering of materials and the interplay of textures showcase a high level of creative skill.


The pieces are well-suited for events such as weddings, and high-profile social gatherings, making them a valuable addition to any fashion world

However, there are areas where there could be improvements to ensure optimal consumer satisfaction and usage, Like
Wearability & Comfort. While the designs are visually unique, some of the headwears appear a bit large and structured, which might make them a bit of challenge for prolonged wear.

Finding ways to balance drama with lightweight construction could improve overall comfort. And long use
While the collection celebrates classic millinery shapes with a modern twist, some of the designs feel reminiscent of existing styles rather than groundbreaking.

Designs or styles. Experimenting with more unique fabrics or mixing materials could elevate the originality of future collections. The collection relies heavily on primary colours and crinoline fabric.

Introducing softer tones, pastels, or metallics alongside these bold shades could increase its appeal.

Additionally, incorporating mixed materials, perhaps silk, sinamay, or even leather would add more depth and variety of styles.


While these headwear Design cater to a niche audience, introducing a few more subtle or adaptable designs within the collection could attract a wider customer base.

Some fashion conscious individuals may admire these bold pieces but hesitate to wear them due to their dramatic size. And the crinoline material used.

Overall, the Ross Classics Collection is an elegant and confident showcase of Ifechukwude Smith’s millinery expertise. Its striking visuals and expert craftsmanship make it a worthy addition to the world of high-fashion headwear.

However, a deeper exploration of innovative shapes, material variety, and wearability could take future collections to an even higher level.
