Me and my girlfriend Chloe met Genis and a handful of his friends in the city, we explored bars and restaurants and I secured my very own Why Eye Hat. Genis creates a range of his own individual and personal pieces from scratch in the city and I can tell you now they are some of the coolest around. He started as a hobby and now it's growing into a business with some of his hats getting worn around the world.
It's a light stone colour, a lot different to my everyday black fedora, but I love it nevertheless - change is good, right? The hat has a strap front and mountain like shape. All Genis' hats are customised to your preference with a lot of burnt and stained areas and also formed in totally individual ways. No two are the same which is something that I absolutely love.
Hats are hard to find at the best of times, especially those with large brims. I've only found a handful I've liked over the past 4 years and only ever purchased a few. But, if you want to know where to find them, what to look for and how to style them, I strongly recommend checking out my YouTube video where this week I talk all about hats. As you can see this selection of photographs was shot after a long day back at my flat. I've teamed it with a long flowing white shirt featuring a detail collar and some leather pants. I've not worn my leathers for a while now, but after slipping into them last week they're now back at the front of the wardrobe.
As always jewellery played a huge role in this look with my necklaces, bracelets and of course my rings all being worn. I love wearing my entire collection all at one time, especially when wearing a hat - it's an accessory overload and that's just my style!
