Whimsical Felt Headwear

The Kreuz Hats by Danielle Hue are Inspired by Childhood Stories

— February 5, 2013 — Fashion
The Kreuz Hats take the art of millinery to a whole new level. Ever since the Duchess of Cambridge came along to renew the public's love of hats and fascinators, designers have been creating more and more to satisfy all ranges of scenarios and tastes. In this case, the Kreuz Hats appeal to those who appreciate all things whimsical and fantastical.

Designed by Danielle Hue, the Kreuz Hats are handmade out of felt. Often depicting childlike scenes including a fox snuggled up against an oak tree and a little fawn proudly standing in a lace tutu, the Kreuz Hats do draw inspiration from the designer's 11th grade her sketchbook. The one-of-a-kind creations are like works of art that stem from Japanese fairytales and folklores, as revealed by Hue.
Trend Themes
1. Fantastical Millinery - Designers are creating more and more fantastical and whimsical hat designs to appeal to those who appreciate all things imaginary and magical.
2. Handmade Felt Accessories - Accessories made of felt, particularly those depicting childlike scenes, are becoming increasingly popular as a result of the Kreuz Hats by Danielle Hue.
3. Fairy Tale-inspired Fashion - Fashion items inspired by Japanese fairy tales and folklores, as seen in the Kreuz Hats, could become a popular trend in future seasons.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion designers and accessory makers can find opportunities in creating more whimsical and imaginative designs, particularly in the formal wear category.
2. Handmade Goods - The demand for handmade felt accessories, such as hats and hairpieces, could open up opportunities for small-scale craftspeople and makers.
3. Children's Products - The childlike scenes and designs featured in the Kreuz Hats could inspire a range of children's products, such as toys, bedding, and clothing.
