(Knitted caps at Ralph Lauren and Wunderkind, FW 2006)
People often complain that they are not "hat people". But I think everyone can wear hats, it's a matter of choosing the right shape and size and how you style your hair. When a hat is too tight, then that looks terrible. I find that most ready made hats are too small. Knitting your own is not as hard as it looks. It's actually quite simple and can be a quick weekend project.
Andre Leon Tally said at the Marc Jacobs show, "Today, elegance has to be roughed up". Knited caps are suddenly looking glamorous.
I do have to thank you for encouraging me - and others of course - that everyone could wear hats if they just watch a few "rules", so to say. I'm one of those who always thought I look like an idiot with hats, mostly due to the fact that I have heaps of very thick hair and it looked just... strange so far. But with bigger ones, I can imagine now that they'd suit me a bit better. Better go and try knitting some for me, shouldn't I? I absolutely adore the one on the left pic! Thanks again, and best wishes from Austria!
