Black and White is a sculptural 2/3 scale top hat—a dramatic yet wearable piece that combines classic millinery technique with bold, contemporary materials. Blocked on a traditional wooden form using the same method as Versailles, this hat is crafted from handwoven Japanese paper in an eye-catching black-and-white check pattern.

The crown is draped with black guipure lace, creating a soft overlay of floral texture, while scattered rhinestones bring a glint of light and unexpected sparkle. The brim is finished in black sinamay straw and trimmed with lush velvet ribbon for contrast and structure.

Two handmade spiral rosettes in matching paper swirl at the base, adding playful dimension and rhythm.

Though smaller in scale, this piece makes a grand impression—perfect for fashion-forward events, editorial styling, or avant-garde performance.
