This Bermuda 2019 issue entitled “Hand Crafted Hats” shows hats created by artist Donna Pink and Ronnie Chameau which were part of a collection of 28 handmade hats made entirely from the island’s natural foliage and were featured in exhibitions at the Bermuda Society of Arts in 2014 and 2017 and further in a book titled “Our History in Hats – Foliage To Fashion.” The collection was designed to demonstrate how simple organic materials, not normally considered beautiful, could be used creatively to re-create fashionable looks worn by women throughout the ages.
