Woodford Reserve has partnered with renowned milliner Gigi Burris for an artisanal collection of hats that honors the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby.
The Gigi Burris for Woodford Reserve Collection blends meticulous craftsmanship with a refined, nuanced palette anchored on a shared devotion to expertise, heritage, and legacy. It includes three styles of hat for women, a men’s fedora and a bespoke unisex rose lapel pin.
The collection is a celebration of both brands’ commitment to artistry, heritage, and tradition. Its colors—molasses, white, mahogany, caramel, and toffee—pay homage to the warm, rich tones of the bourbon.
“Dressing for The Kentucky Derby begins with the hat,” Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall said. “We are honored to partner with Gigi to unveil this refined collection for both men and women.”
“The Kentucky Derby and headwear have a richly intertwined history, with decades of American style moments defined by hats,” added Gigi Burris. “This collaboration with Woodford Reserve reflects that same sense of tradition, craftsmanship, and style.”
The Gigi Burris for Woodford Reserve Collection is available at the Gigi Burris Millinery store in New York and online.
