This collection is the result of encounters and observations. Initially, a simple statement: people in the street increasingly seek to protect and isolate themselves. To protect themselves from cold but also, in the urban landscape from pollution and noise. They seek to caulk themselves in a world of comfort, softness, smoothness and kindness.
Each hat is unique and inspired by a face, an attitude, a personality perceived or met. Simple people become muses without being aware of it.

Personally, hat-making is all about lines, attitudes, colours and composition; each hat is a sculpture, even more it is a playful sculpture. These hats, indeed may be worn in different manners, thus creating many surprises.
When I consider designing a hat, I want the result to be extremely multifunctional. Each of these hats can be transformed according to the moods of its owner. It is up to him to adopt it, to transform it into a delicious shell, and even to consider it as his precious amulet.
