I Love Hats Because?: Well your head is your most glorious creative tool, and as such deserves to be crowned creatively.

About Me: I have been making hats and fascinators for the past few years, a lot of which have been made from a mix of old world materials and findings with modern day new elements. I love all things vintage, noir and romantic but combined with a modern slick edgy elegance. I will try to make hair adornments out of any curious or unusual materials I can get my hands in an effort to make sure that medium combined with my own style or an old-world nostalgia makes sure that no hat turns out looking like a generic copy of somebody else's. I'm not happy unless a headpiece feels original to me and the wearer, even if it's made from a chopped up watering can. (This has actually happened)
