If you're looking for inspiration for some alternative streetwear, you can't get much more alternative than a hat made entirely from wooden Popsicle sticks. This thoroughly modern look was created by Italian designer Andrea Deppieri, and offers a fresh alternative to people looking for cool spring fashion.
The 'Tête de Bois' is a unique design, which takes cues from architecture, fashion and industrial design. Its unique wooden slats allow the structure to be airy and fresh enough for spring/summer wear, whilst also being incredibly lightweight. The hat is available in five different styles and two different wood finishes. Choose from light-colored mahogany or the light-colored wood effect. The unisex styles are available in bohemian fedora styles, as well as street-ready caps.
This unique design will be unveiled during Milan Design Week 2013.
