'One day I'll make a hat for Beyonce'

Upload with Nina Das Gupta

Available for over a year

We're featuring the hat-making social media sensation, based in Newcastle, whose traditionally made accessories are finding international fans. Holly Johnson, originally from Alsager, has been picking up tens of thousands of followers online with her videos, sharing the story of how she uses traditional methods in creating some of the fanciest and most bespoke headgear you'll ever find. She’s been guiding BBC Upload's Phillip Stoneman through the art of creating some of her most recent creations, miniature replicas of Slash’s hats, from Guns & Roses, which became the trophies of the Music Awards of Staffordshire & Cheshire.
