Memory

$185.00

I remember rhythm and rebellion.

I was born of brown wool, swirling lines, and a memory. I am shaped to hold my ground and my story. My curves echo movement, music, and a time when self-expression mattered more than rules. I sit steady on your head, holding my form, asking you to be unapologetically yourself.

Memory is an updated interpretation of a hat that wore in the 1980s. It was brown, expressive, and unmistakably bold. Inspired by a Boy George–era silhouette, this piece bridges nostalgia and my current felted wool practice. The swirling lines are organic and intentional, suggesting motion, creativity, and the way memory lives in the body. It is sturdy, sculptural, and designed to be worn with confidence.
