Woolly Wormhead

2008 

WW066K Traversa

Here La Wormhead departs from her usual sideways construction, and indulges those who prefer their hats traditionally made in the round (in this case, from the brim up). A garter band gives way to a generous crown, pleasingly full (it could almost function as a snood, as can many of Wormhead's other hats). It's embellished with the very merry and geometric squiggles you see "like lightning travelling towards the centre of the Hat," says the designer. Casual, but becoming and polished too.
