“I love this hat, because it’s a classic shape in a contemporary fabric: python. It’s a sophisticated-but-easy piece to wear.”

“This is a very 1940s shape. It looks stunning on almost everyone.”

“I absolutely love the nostalgic aspect of this material and style. It looks like something you’d find in your grandma’s closet — but not exactly. A girl could wear this carelessly and look great.”

“The orchid on this hat is made from South African fabrics. I love the contrast between the flower and the neutral straw.”

“I like the shininess of the sequins against the matte background. It’s just very elegant.”

“A girl can wear this on the street or going to the beach.”

“It’s modeled after pith helmets people wore during colonial times. This one’s for an urban jungle, though.”

“Again, you see the South African influence with the porcupine quills.”

“The fabrics inspired me to make this hat. It was technically a huge challenge. It took me three days to complete.”

“I was basically playing with textures when I made this hat, and it proved hard to make. The orchid on the side is inspired by Tretchikoff. I see a woman wearing it with a great suit and heels when she’s maybe going to a luncheon or when she just wants to be a little more dressed up than normal.”
