Outlandish African Caps

The Kenzo New Era Hats Tap African Textiles and Animal Prints

— February 8, 2013 — Fashion
The Kenzo New Era spring/summer 2013 collection features a range of radically bold patterns and eccentric designs.

For those unfamiliar, Kenzo is a fashion label from Paris. Outside the box might be an understatement when it comes to describing these hats. With outrageously intricate patterns and unthinkable color combinations, these are the type of hats that get noticed fast. While some hats utilize animal prints, others utilize African textiles and resemble tribal garb.

African textiles are a unique angle to take for hats that isn't often seen. It's also interesting for a label from Paris to tap such diverse sensibilities. Some of the hats read Kenzo in big block letters, while others are made with blank fronts.

They are available at the Kenzo online store.
