concept

By wearing a hat we reveal our personal identity yet at the same time hide it. Designer Angela Ooi created eight characters who wear a hat as a representation of their distinct role in society. Each hat also tells about the character’s own “private sunshine”, a place where the most precious of feelings are hidden. The outfits themselves were developed in different colours since every private sunshine is unique. The essence of Angela’s collection lies in an extract from “Le Petit Prince” by Saint-Exupéry: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye”.
