Description

‘Fusion’ is the process of combining two or more distinct entities into a new whole.

Hat/headpiece is always considered to be a fashion item in the Western world and it is not yet very popular in the Eastern region. By incorporating the Chinese art of Cheongsam in a hat/headpiece, I am trying to mix the Chinese cultural art with the Western fashion and hence create a ‘Fusion’ between the Eastern and Western world.

I hope that by my design, it will make hat/headpiece become more popular in the Eastern world.
