Ruslan Baginskiy: The Hat as a Signature Piece

Headwear is more than just an accessory—it’s a statement. Ruslan Baginskiy has turned it into an art form, redefining modern hat-making while staying deeply connected to his Ukrainian roots.

Starting as a stylist, Baginskiy created his first hat in 2011, setting the stage for what would become a globally recognized brand. His Baker Boy Cap, introduced in 2016, became an instant classic, worn by Madonna, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Bella and Gigi Hadid, Taylor Swift, and more.

From crafting a custom hat for Queen Elizabeth II to designing a crystal-embellished balaclava for Madonna, each piece tells a story of culture and craftsmanship. His latest creation, the HatBag, merges headwear and accessories in a bold new vision.

While his designs have conquered the world, Baginskiy’s impact goes beyond fashion. Read more about his fundraising efforts and contributions during the full-scale invasion in the next article.
