Hats from the Ruslan Baginskiy brand have been displayed as museum exhibits in the Louvre.
The Musée des Arts Décoratifs exhibition features three hats from the collection: Baker Boy Cap, Cowboy Hat, and Faux-Fur Hat. After the exhibit, these pieces will be transferred to the national archives of modern fashion.
The Baker Boy Cap, which was released seven years ago, has become an iconic piece. Reflecting on its success, the designer commented,
"Baker boy cap is a museum piece!! Dreams come true! I arrived in Paris for the first time 9 years ago amazed by its museums, yesterday I arrived at the Louvre Palace to Musée des arts Décoratifs exhibition showing three RB hats! Unbelievable. After the exhibit three hats will go to the national archive for contemporary fashion! Now a new piece of Ukrainian craftwork is a part of a global history. Because culture matters."
Ruslan Baginskiy, a Ukrainian brand founded in 2010 by designer Ruslan Baginskiy in Lviv, became well-known for its caps, which have been worn by celebrities such as Beyoncé, Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Ruslan Baginskiy has four stores in Ukraine: a showroom in Kyiv on Yevhena Chykalenka Street, 33; a store in Lviv on Staroievreiska Street, 29; a pop-up store in Bukovel; and a store in Odessa on Katerynynska Street.
