At first glance, you might think Audrey Hepburn is checking you out... or a crazed circus clown is fixin' to start a little mayhem. It's merely an illusion, however. One creative designer screened popular faces onto the hoods of sweatshirts forging the impression that the person on the hood is real. Currently, there are eight designs available and all are printed on top-notch American Apparel garments.
Implications - These interesting sweaters are called HeadHoods and are produced in a small studio apartment in Brooklyn, New York. All of the sweaters are completely handmade and feature the famous faces of celebs such as Audrey Hepburn, Elvis and even King Kong! HeadHoods not only look great, but they are also super fun to wear.
