BURQA WAYS

From the fashion likes of Givenchy, Mugler, French Vogue pages, and Pakistan fashion shows, the Burqa has been a controversial issue. Some, such as our President backs burqa wearing as a form of religious freedom while others, such as in France condemns it, as a women's right issue. But if you take a moment and think about the feeling of being covered under a piece of fabric your whole life, you may gain a greater respect for these women's wills and ways. Here are some beautiful visions and artistry in feeling the beauty of covering ones face...

ROAD TRIP

Summer time, time for travels...friends, cool hats.....

'and the stones in the road

shone like diamonds in the dust

and then a voice called to us

to make our way back home'

             -Mary Chapin Carpenter

BLACK AND BLUE

'A glimpse of you
was all it took
a stranger's glance
it got me hooked'
  -The Rolling Stones

THE LOVELY BOYS

'Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo 
Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling 
He could leave 'em to hang 
Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan.'
                      -David Bowie

'So we talk about ourselves in hell

To forget the love we never felt

all the old jokes that work so well

universal truth was a moment's lie.'

                 -The Strokes

SUMMER HATS LOOK BOOK

we put this Look Book together as a collaborative project between our hat designs, Hugh Lippe's amazing photography, our friend Cameron Russell was our amazing model; and model, Natasa Vojnovic (she was the face of our Fall Look book) helping in the styling...friends such as model Agyness Deyn stopped by to hang and show support. Was such a family moment! Thanks everyone!

STEPPING STONE

In all the shoots we do we naturally express ourselves through the people we shoot- our hats, our style, with rock & roll and sometimes through femininity...

"You're trying to make your mark in society

Using all the tricks that you used on me

You're reading all those high fashion magazines

The clothes you're wearing girl

Are causing public scenes

I'm not your stepping stone."
