Pamela Thomas-Graham said of Mr. Song Millinery headwear: “So consider yourself a part of history if you decide to wear one.”

Luke Song’s Detroit millinery was frequented by the late, great Aretha Franklin.

Franklin wore her much-discussed Mr. Song hat for her performance at President Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration.

Mr. Song Millinery has been in business since 1982, making hats for church, the Kentucky Derby, Ascot and other special occasions. Hats by Mr. Song Millinery are on display at the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame, several African-American museums and the Smithsonian.

They are also on display at Michigan Medicine. Check them out for yourself!
