Melted fabric hat with wrapped wire by DJ DEGAYNER

This is a hat I am currently working on: made from sheer synthetic fabric, embellished with burnt and melted details;  using wrapped wire as the skeleton.

Museum of Contemporary Art; Derby.

Hat Display at the MCA with 5 other classmates.

Soooo many people came and tried on our hats. It was amazing.

Showing at the MCA

This is the Chicago Social Ad for the group event I am showing in at the MCA tomorrow. The hat pictured is by my instructor, Eia Radosavljevic.

 

 

 

 

 

My hats aren't very 'Kentucky Derby' but I don't care.
