Inspiration

Lisa draws on personal memories and iconic images to create handmade pieces that are simultaneously classic and avant garde. Seeing old styles in a contemporary setting spark her creativity too: a man in an old school suit and fedora walking down a street in a hipster Brooklyn neighborhood; burlesque dancers on the red carpet in Hollywood; art deco architecture lining cobble stone streets in Puerto Rico. The fine details of another time set against the familiar backdrop of our own provide rich contrast and an interesting point of view that find their way into every hat.
