Who doesn’t love the look of a fabulous cloche hat??? They are classic yet modern and they make me want to get a bobbed hair cut and prance around in my drop-waist beaded flapper gown and throw on my pearls. For years I’ve been searching for a good quality vintage cloche but none have caught my eye nor been nice to my wallet so I’ve been gathering various photos for some inspiration in hopes to make a few of my own.

A few weeks ago, on one of my daily scrolls through Etsy.com I stumbled across Yellow Field 7’s shop of amazing cloche hats and Ooooh’d and Aaaaah’d my way through the entire collection. Bosnian born designer Behida Dolic’s hand draped and embellished one of a kind vintage inspired designs are some of the most unique and beautiful hats I’ve seen and have really given me some creative encouragement for my own future pieces.

NOW Magazine caught up with the Director of Toronto Arts and Fashion Week, Vanja Vasic and featured her in their ‘My Style’ section.  Thanks Vanja for buying and wearing one of my first reconstructed vintage pieces!
