Not really, but if you find out anything let me know. I've been wanting to be an amateur milliner for a while now. I know Vogue has some patterns for some ones out of wool felt, but I have yet to try them out.
Hi,
This is something I found but it is not the thing I am looking for but a start I guess and it is free. http://www.vintagesewing.info/
They have some scanned books about hatmaking from the 20s.

Hi Fisk-
You mean Louis Vuitton?
http://www.vuitton.com/
I double dare you to find what you want there...
The website stuff is all rack goods.
The hats/headwear my friend was involved with would have been the 'catwalk -houte couture' gear... not the visors, ball caps and floppy hats that make up the merchandise-wear, like the LV handbags and other crap.
If you look at Stephen Jones' site and the hats there, you'll be getting the idea of her world of hats-
http://www.stephenjonesmillinery.com/
...weird stuff like this-
http://www.stephenjonesmillinery.com/01hats/modelMillinery.php
She also had a spell eith Philip Treacy in London- maybe some of his stuff is more recognisable as hats-

...or not...

Lolita works in the one-off, custom, high fashion, high art area of head wear, not the everyday stuff. Probably not yer typical Fedora Lounge fare-
She's a 'hat sculptress', although she knows how to make any kind of hat you could throw at her- all by hand of course. She's well versed in hat construction of all types but it's the weird stuff that gets her noticed famous and working where the money is-
