My aim in this series is to invite the viewer to wonder why this woman chose this hat.
I have always been intrigued by head coverings and their many and varied purposes. Hats are a versatile and important in daily life. Their uses are many - work, sport, safety, cultural and religious reasons or just for fun.
One use is protection from the elements. As wide brimmed hats give protection from the sun; a woollen hat protects from cold weather. Berets and woollen hats serve many functions but can also be a fashion statement that allows the individual to express their unique style.
