Who designed Melania Trumps inauguration hat? NBC 6 South Florida [Video]

Melania Trump clutched her hat as the winds from the Biden’s departing military helicopter threatened to remove it.  

“She almost blew away,” Donald Trump later joked during his post-inauguration speech. “She was being elevated off the ground.”

The hat — and the First Lady — was not going anywhere. The designer of the wide-brimmed, wool boater-style hat Trump wore on Inauguration Day made sure of that.

“I know it was secured very nicely to her head because I sort of engineered a little invisible elastic in the back,” Eric Javits, a milliner who hand crafted Trump’s hat, told NBC Local after Monday’s inauguration ceremony. “And there were some loops towards the front where more pins could be applied. And it wasn’t such a huge brim that would fly off her head.”
