(MIA), an acronym for “Made In America.” The (MIA) within our brand name reflects our commitment to the best parts of the American Lifestyle. Le Chapeau “MIA” is a cutting-edge brand of headwear that draws upon the vitality of global high-fashion and the heart of the tasteful Americana. The originality of Le Chapeau (MIA)’s essence is paralleled by the life of its creator, ALAKAZIA, who has designed for top European and American fashion houses and major retailers such as Ungaro, Balenciaga, and Barney’s with tremendous success. Consequently, the unique style of Le Chapeau (MIA) could only be successfully executed via the vision of ALAKAZIA’s creative genius. His illustrious career in fashion that has spanned across the globe over more than thirty years has endowed ALAKAZIA with an unmatched degree of experience that is now focused into the Le Chapeau (MIA) collection of hats. Though couture-inspired, the collection of Le Chapeau (MIA) is not exclusively for those with a keen fashion sense and deep pockets, but is for anyone who values personal style. Our upcoming presentation in Spring 2013 will have elements that multiply the possibilities and fashionability of any wardrobe. In the words of ALAKAZIA, “Le Chapeau (MIA) is affordably fashionably FIERCE.”

Although our brand incorporates a global flare, we proudly source our materials and production almost entirely within the United States. This may not be the least costly method, but we wholeheartedly support the Made In America Lifestyle that results in a higher-quality product and a fortified domestic economy.
