  Milliner - LoveToKnow 1911
MILLINER, originally a dealer in goods from the city of Milan in Italy, whence the name.
Such goods were chiefly steel work, including cutlery, needles, also arms and armour and textile fabrics, ribbons, gloves and "Milan bonnets." The "milliners" of London, though never formed into a Livery Company seem to have been associated with the "Cappers and Hurers," which later were amalgamated with the "Haberdashers" (q.v.).
Minsheu's derivation of the word from mille, thousand ("as having a thousand small wares to sell"), though a typical instance of guessing etymologies, shows the miscellaneous character of their trade in the 16th and 17th centuries.

 The Milliners (New Acquisitions at the Getty)
The Milliners is one of twenty-two surviving paintings, pastels, and drawings of the subject that Degas made over the course of approximately thirty years, from about 1880 to 1910.
Discoveries made upon x-ray examination of this painting reveal that the milliner on the left originally wore a hat, had ruffles at her wrists, and wore a scarf around her neck—details indicating that the artist initially conceived of her as a customer.
The Milliners complements the Getty's growing collection of late nineteenth-century art and relates strongly to works by Degas already in the collection, including The Convalescent, about 1872–87, which also explores female lassitude and blends the conventions of portraiture and genre painting.

But to hear Grigg, now a milliner, talk about his work in the lead-up to the Melbourne Cup is to get the feeling that even the most demanding choreographers could not compete with the needs of his clientele at this time of year.

Both milliners say the trend this year is away from fascinators to big hats, with Winter putting her money on "really girly, pretty colours" and Grigg on "very strong naturals like brown and cream".

 Stephen Jones (milliner) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His hats echo Schiaparelli's from the 1930s, but are always completely up to the minute in mood.
Those premises soon became a place of pilgrimage and patronage, as everyone from rock stars to royalty, from Boy George to Lady Diana, identified Jones as the milliner who would help them make arresting headlines.
In materials that were often radical, and in designs that ranged from refined to whimsical, his exquisitely crafted, quixotic hats encapsulated the fashion mood of the moment.
