Ryan Parry: Haute Head-wear.

Sarah, my new roommate Berlin-side, has amassed for herself quite the well-curated head-wear wardrobe over the past few years. I, on the other hand, am entirely hat-less, though it’s never bothered me before since I’ve never really thought that one would fulfil that oh so important function of completing an outfit; at least never in my case since head-wear is to me what the chalkiest of chalk is to cheese…

That was until now. Now, I have serious hat envy and it’s all thanks to Ryan Parry’s breathtaking, off-kilter collection. Styled by Christopher Preston (primarily known for his work with model-mad HERO magazine) and featuring Elite model Tommy Kristiansen, this shoot brilliantly accentuates the conflict between a robust, graphic aesthetic and the more fluid and romantic image at work in Parry’s creations.
