Hats have played an integral role in the progression of the fashion world. Be it as an accessory to add that final touch to an outfit, or as a necessity to shield one’s face from harmful ultraviolet rays – hats have been a vital component in women’s wardrobe ever since the medieval ages.
In Asia, our love affair with hats in general - and with Helen Kaminski's in particular - is still going strong. The top notch quality, perfection when it comes to details, craftsmanship, classic aesthetics and eco-friendly ethos make them a cut above the rest.
We love the fact that no two hats from this 31-year-old Australian brand are the same for each hat is intricately woven by a skilled artisan using only high quality ecologically-harvested Madagascan raffia, and traditional stitching methods.
Helen Kaminski’s Spring-Summer 2014 Collection titled ‘Kaleidoscope’ features hats that are not just a fashion statement to go with your summer outfit, they also work wonders to protect the skin as well. This is due to their UPF 50+ rating that blocks 97.5% of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays. Plus storing the hats will not be a problem as they can be rolled up for storage or packaging purposes, and are easily refreshed with a burst of steam, making them the perfect travel companion.
Don a sundress with a pair of wedges and complement it with a Nosara Natural for a sunny day at the beach, or a stroll in the park. For a more sophisticated look, match the Antalaha in Chalk/black hat with a little black dress and some embellished earrings to liven up your outfit at a tea party with your girlfriends. Sporty fans are not left out as well for a visor such as Mai in Natural/Sand would be the perfect head gear for a day hitting some balls at the golf course.
Whatever your style is, there's definitely a Helen Kaminski hat for you.
Helen Kaminski hats are available online and at Club 21b in Singapore.
