about 2 years ago, i got a huge illustrated fashion encyclopedia as a gift. looking at the different types of hats for every time period and reading about how every tiny detail came to place, i started to make sketches and models for head jewelry that will tell my story of the Hat.
the first collection that i did was Cocktail Hats, which was 5 types of hats representative for different fashion periods - cloche, spoon bonnet, top hat... ...soon after i slowly abandoned the hat as a form and continued to create narrative jewelry for the head that is meant to intrigue the viewer and wearer with its format, title and elements - creating a tale of its own. |
