Hats Off To Gypsy and Loic

Not your average hat. These are designed by Gyspy and Loic out of Chico and are completely eco-mindful, from their choices in fabric to the actual sewing and construction of the garments which is done locally. And they’re cute – gosh darnit!

We like the look of: COSTELLO TAGLIAPIETRA

This dapper duo comprised of Robert Tagliapietra and Jeffrey Costello, may look like a couple of lumber-jacks, but they are two of the most incredible contemporary designers. They both grew up in working-class families on the East Coast and, as fate would have it, both of their grandmother’s were seamstresses at Norman Norell, an American designer circa 1940. They met and began collaborating in the 1990′s and formed COSTELLO TAGLIAPIETRA in 2005. These two visionaries were self taught and had no connections to the fashion industry. A great story with a happy ending: collection after collection of timeless inspiring designs. Visit: costellotagliapietra.com
