An incredible art piece, made for an exhibition in 2018. Akikaze (the Autumnal Wind) combines Giulia's love for Japan with her passion for the '40 headwear. A premium quality wool felt hat inspired by the Japanese travellers' hat is "split" by a gust of Autumnal wind carrying Gingko and Japanese Maple leather leaves. The final shape reminds the innovative and avant-garde designed produced during WWII, adding a vintage touch that makes this creation easy to wear. Ideal for the art and hat-loving collector, for vintage-obsessed racegoers or simply for a stylish and confident lady who wants to add something unique to her wardrobe. A leather-covered button supports the structure of the hat and it is secured with an elastic and a comb, to ensure a comfortable fit on any head size. This is a one-off design. No exact copy of this piece can be made, but bespoke service is available upon request, please call or email for further information. Ready to be shipped in 5-7 working days
