Kelly Schultz – USA

Description

I’ve always loved cloche hats because of how timeless their design is. This hat I created was made for a collaboration I did with fashion designer Haus Page. The theme was Sea Sirens & Steampunk Pirates. The woman who wears this hat is confident, strong and mysterious.
