Hats are not just a fashion accessory;
they are statements of personality, culture, and style.
Whether you’re shielding yourself from the sun, braving the cold, or simply adding a touch of flair to your outfit,
there’s a hat out there for every occasion.
I just asked ChatGPT!!
Yes hats are not just a fashion accessory, functional, attitude and believes, supports, style and love!!
Let’s put the hat on!!
Hi,
I had an opportunity to experiment a demonstration of my passion hat and kimono!
I love Traditional Kimono, but living in Scotland, there is not so much occasion to wear them.
And also there are lots of rules for dressing Kimono.
And I see the product so called Kimono in the shops all over, I disagree with those are called Kimono….
I was wondering there are so many traditional Kimono what you can purchase in Japan, which have much more detailed design and beautiful colours.
I love the traditional way of dressing Kimono, but one you are not specialized dressing the Kimono, it is hard to wear traditional way…
So, I use my Japanese Kimono ( They are produced in Japan as Traditional Kimono ) dressing with accessories you can find in your wardrobe.
Mrs. Yamazaki is founder’s wife of this event all over from Japan. She said she got lots of complements at the Sainsbury’s as she was wearing Kimono before the demonstration!!
How wonderful is that! 🙂

Just I started reading ” L’Amant ” by Marguerite Duras again…
Book has been translated in Japanese.
In the story, I couldn’t ignore,,, she is talking about ” Hat ” is very
significant in her memory.
” I got a hat, there is no farewell with it. That can re-create myself….
I have a pair of shoes, I felt the same to those, but my hat is far more special….”
I just translated in my way from Japanese translation to English… but Sometime, I feel hat has exactly same way for my style.
I hope I can serve those special hat to the clients all the time.
The Lover The Lover (French: L’Amant) is an autobiographical novel by Marguerite Duras, published in 1984 by Les Éditions de Minuit. It has been translated to 43 languages and was awarded the 1984 Prix Goncourt. (from Google search)
P.21 talking about her outfit especially about “Hat”
When I design clothes, I always finish off with the hat/headpiece 🙂
I have to try each photoshoot with a different look, but I have used the same outfits for different occasions.
These are the example of how the hats and styling make different!!
With fantastic model Mhairi Waddell (15), she can show the same outfit with different HATs to show off!!
