Rod Keenan[1] (born July 3, 1968, in Great Bend, Kansas) is an American milliner and is the creator of a handcrafted men's headwear collection that is marketed under his label Rod Keenan New York.
Keenan is additionally noted for choosing to locate his design studio in the Manhattan neighborhood of Harlem, New York.
Drawing on sources that are as divergent as the Dadaists, Elsa Schiaparelli, ancient Egypt, and Kurt Weill, Keenan maintains a characteristic New York vernacular, while he designs in the finest Italian tradition, and executes his work with British millinery precision.
In addition to creating hats for celebrities such as Elvis Costello, the Scissor Sisters, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake, and Brad Pitt, among others, Keenan has also designed hats for designers Paul Smith and Dries van Noten.
Additionally, Keenan's hat collections can be found in Barneys New York, and Harvey Nichols in London, England.
