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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-green-works) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-and-new-era) are available in bohemian fedora styles, as well as street-ready caps. This unique design will be unveiled during Milan Design Week 2013. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Alternative Streetwear:** There is room for further experimentation in creating alternative streetwear designs using unconventional materials. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Popsicle sticks and other unconventional materials can be used as a sustainable option in fashion design. - **Handmade Fashion:** Handmade fashion, especially hats and accessories, can provide an opportunity for creativity and differentiation in the market. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can experiment with unconventional and eco-friendly materials to create new and unique styles. - **Handmade Goods:** There is potential for handmade products to become more mainstream as consumers look for unique and sustainable fashion options. - **Craft Supplies:** The use of unconventional materials in fashion design could lead to increased demand for craft supplies beyond traditional fabrics and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wood-Created Progressive Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-jacket.md) - [Cigarette Waste Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shearling-style-hat.md) - [Avant-Garde Radish Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radish-hat.md) - [Stylish Poppy-Inspired Cooler Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poppy-collection.md) - [Extreme Environment Hat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-planet-earth-hat-v2.md) - [Sustainable Bucket Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lisous-bucket-hat-collection.md) - [Futuristic Headgear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonveil-collection.md) - [Bread-Themed Fascinators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-hat.md) - [Collaborative Headwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-and-new-era.md)
