Home as Hat: Sue Davis

"Sue Davis: Home as Hat" 2017

Headdresses worn by mystics, genies, sorcerers and wizards, that's the type of hat I think of when I see turrets. Its pointed apex echo the stereotypical witches hat and conjures well established images of spell casters dabbling in the occult.

Photographed at The Magic Castle, a clubhouse for the Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood, also got me in the mood to create this Steeple Hennin hat. This cone shaped covering worn mostly by noble women in Europe during the Middle Ages, is almost always depicted with a circular veil draped behind the headdress.

It is with great pleasure that I could produce this hat for this magical lady and add another Home as Hat to the series!
