# Wearable Apartments Garudio Studiage Constructs Whimsical Architectural Flat Cap By Marissa Liu | Published 2009-09-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garudio-studiage-flat-cap References: [designspotter](http://www.designspotter.com/product/2009/09/Flat-Cap.html) & [garudiostudiage](http://www.garudiostudiage.com/news/flat_cap.htm) Garudio Studiage, a UK-based collective, has created a special flat cap. This whimsical hat was commissioned by the V&A for their Easter Bonnet Parade. Garudio Studiage’s flat cap consists of an apartment building which sits atop a checked cap and is described by the studiage as, “a surreal pun on two iconic forms.” The building also includes its own miniature world complete with pigeons, a horse and other fashionable and famous inhabitants. The flat cap is entirely hand-made out of paper and card and playfully narrates the happenings among its twisted miniature community. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Whimsical Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create whimsical and playful fashion items incorporating unconventional elements. - **Miniature Worlds:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop products that incorporate miniature worlds, allowing users to create and interact with their own microcosms. - **Handmade Craftsmanship:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the revival of handmade craftsmanship in the creation of unique and personalized products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion and Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce unconventional fashion accessories that capture the imagination of consumers and provide a sense of whimsy. - **Art and Collectibles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine art and collectibles by creating intricate and detailed miniature worlds that serve as immersive and interactive art pieces. - **Craft and Hobby:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Cater to the growing demand for handmade craft products by offering unique and creative accessories and projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hat-Shaped Metal-Topped Holiday Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hee-house.md) - [Key-Typing Headgarments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gboard-cap.md) - [Book-Inspired Timber-Lined Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hat-house.md) - [Prefabricated Miniature Home Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cpsula.md) - [Collaborative City Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paname-cap.md) - [Avant-Garde Radish Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radish-hat.md) - [Juxtaposing Traditionally Modular Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hihat-house.md) - [Bread-Themed Fascinators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-hat.md) - [Caravan-Shaped Artist Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-residency-in-milan.md)
