Borsalino’s new collection of Tiny Musical Hats, exclusive at www.yoox.com, pays tribute to the 60s and The Beatles, Elvis and The Rolling Stones.
Borsalino’s factory in Alessandria, Northern Italy, is where hats are crafted on wooden machinery dating back to the 1800s, to the days of handmade excellence and artisan expertise.
“From the Beatles to the Rolling Stones via Studio 54: of all fashionable accessories none has been as instrumental to pop culture as the hat”, writes New Yooxer about the bright-colored miniature hats.
Italian rock expert and media darling Paola Maugeri, often defined as the female face of music on Italian television and occasionally referred to as “Wikipaola” for her extensive knowledge on music and its history, designed the Tiny Musical Hats and infused them with a little rock’n’roll to create something truly memorable. This all-encompassing passion for music is at the core of the limited edition capsule collection Paola designed for Borsalino; each one of the four styles is an homage to a pop music milestone with an extra dose of oomph.
An unmistakably British, yet modern take on the bowler hat is a fond tribute to the Beatles. Velour felt available in four colours.
A symbol of the most aristocratic British elegance, the classic top hat makes a comeback in miniature form. Wear it with the confidence and arrogance of Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones. Made of velour felt, it is available in white, saffron with a contrasting black band and painted black.
This classic rancher style mini cowboy hat could have come straight from Texas. Made of velour felt, it is available in six colours with a contrasting band; a contemporary nod to Elvis, Sun Records and the origins of rock ‘n’ roll.
