Icelandic folk hats are so evocative and simple at the same time.

Everything started with this book about traditional fashion in Icelandic culture.

A traditional Icelandic female headpiece. It has a very interesting and quite phallic shape. I decided that this was the key inspiration point for my project.

References of headpieces from the artists of the Bauhaus. Performing arts are a fundamental iconographic source in my work with wearables and sculpture.

The making of the spheres, or balls, with felted stuffing and pins.

this hat is self standing and therefore is a wearable sculpture. I like the hjeratic simplicity of the shilouette. And the black outline reminds me of the American design of the 50ies, which I truly love.

Religious references in the shape and colors of this hat make it fun playing with the concept of a phallic hat that is also a religious outfit.

Another Icelandic ancient iconographic image depicting the female fashion. Note how this character looks like a circus clown! This image inspired the sketches that follow.
