HAUTE DOGS CALENDAR 2026
London milliner Awon Golding is back with her fundraising project that features rescue dogs and couture headwear. Now in its eighth year, the Haute Dogs Calendar has raised over £120,000 for international dog rescue charities. This year’s campaign is in support of Underdog International, a global charity whose motto is “Children helping Dogs. Dogs helping Children.” The 2026 Haute Dogs Calendar
showcases 12 Underdog rescue dogs wearing couture headpieces from an illustrious group of millinery names: Pip Mayo, Carol Kennelly, Phillip Rhodes, Berry Rutjes Jr., Sally Caswell, LaylaLeigh, Misa Harada, Virna Pasquinelli, Justine Bradley-Hill, Awon Golding, Christopher Julian Garner and Bronwyn Shooks. Awon commented: “Haute Dogs
combines two of my greatest loves – hats and rescue dogs. I’ve had the honour of creating hats for both Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales, but the thrill I get each year from designing a one-off couture piece for a rescue dog comes a very close second.”

On a sun-drenched Sunday by the Cantabrian Sea, San Sebastián in Spain once again became the epicentre of elegance and hat culture. The 2025 Paseo con Sombrero (Hat Walk), organised by the Asociación Barrio San Martín and the milliner Oihana Hernaiz, brought together hundreds of local residents, tourists and millinery enthusiasts in an event that has consolidated its place as an important fixture on the international calendar. Far from being merely a parade of headpieces, the San Sebastián Hat Walk is a celebration of the diversity, tradition and modernity that coexist in Basque culture. From the Miramar Palace to the iconic La Concha Clocks, the route was a visual spectacle of colours, textures and forms, with attendees donning everything from traditional berets to haute millinery creations. Just before the start of the walk, in the historic gardens of the Miramar Palace, the organisers paid tribute to Boinas Elósegui, the renowned Gipuzkoan brand that has woven identity, history and pride into each of its pieces since 1858. In a ceremony steeped in symbolism, manager of the company Ander Astigarraga received an original sculpture by the artist Iñigo Manterola, specially created for the occasion.

The event culminated in an ‘aurresku’, a traditional Basque folk dance, performed to honour those who for generations have kept alive the essence of the ‘txapela’ (Basque beret). This celebration also included
‘Txapelarte’, an exhibition featuring txapelas reinterpreted by artists, designers and prominent Basque figures. The exhibition not only celebrated tradition but also demonstrated how the txapela can engage with contemporary art and become a vehicle for solidarity, thanks to the auction of the pieces for charity in aid of the Spanish Association Against Cancer. Live music, dance
performances, food tastings and prizes for the most creative hats rounded off the event.
