OBSESSIONS. DECORATION. SALIENT FACTS. T eressa Foglia, the hat-maker with a cult-like following, has added River Oaks District to her stable of shops that span from New York to Malibu. The Houston outpost, her first in Texas, is the result of pop-ups she's held across the state (including Round Top), which found her fanciful interpretation of classic flat brims and Western-influenced flip brims wildly popular. The charming TOP HATS 950-square-foot boutique, between MAD and Bella Rinova Salon, showcases 250 of her ready-made hats, both felt and straw. Foglia and her artistic director and beau, Tyler Hays Wild, have created custom hates for Cindy Crawford, John Mayer and Kate Bosworth, to name a few, personalized with tiny gold and silver charms, ribbons, crystals, feathers, and more.
