As we are stepping into autumn and as I’ve been putting my summer clothes away, making space for my AW outfits, it’s also time to check out our accessories for keeping warm and cosy.
I mean especially covering and protecting our heads from the freezing winds winter can bring us.
It’s clear that hats have become an essential part of fashion designers collections.
You see more and more unusual creations like the striped wool-knit balaclava hat at Calvin Klein.
Or who remembers Missoni’s statement pink pussyhats from last Fall 2017 ?
Whether you choose a rib-knit wool-blend beanie, a cotton velvet beret or a leather fisherman cap, you definitely will find one that fits your head.
In that respect, I want to share a hidden gem millinery designer I discovered this summer in Cataluna.
Eliurpi was born in 2010.
It represents the designer Elisabet Urpi and photographer Nacho Impierrez.
I met them in their newest studio shop in the heart of Barcelona, Baixada de Santa Eulalia.
They create the most exquisite, elegant, modern hats I’ve never seen before.
The pieces are made by hand, one by one. They are unique and proof of pure craftsmanship using eco-friendly materials.
Each hat has a value of artwork.
Elisabet also designs a small collection of clothes each season.
The dresses, trousers and jackets match nicely with the hats but can be worn separately as well.
I would suggest to browse through their AW 2018 collection, now available on their website eliurpi.com.
They sell worldwide and take care of every detail from design, production till delivery.
I hope you will be ready-to-wear one of their headgears as much as I am.
I really put my hat off to them !
To be continued…
