STRAW TWIST is a distinctly HIZUME architectural hat, created by applying a twist to a flat circular form and developing it into a three-dimensional silhouette.
The main body is made from a high-quality straw material blended from linen and cotton.
With its supple texture and balanced firmness, this material beautifully supports the large undulations and folded forms that emerge at the top, creating a silhouette that is both lightweight and striking in presence.
The brim is crafted from cotton gabardine.
The appeal of this hat lies in the way the twisted structure reveals a different expression from every angle.
From the front, the brim casts a deep shadow around the face.
From the side, the twisted upper section appears as a bold curved form.
From the back, the sculptural volume of the straw and the spread of the brim overlap to create a distinctive silhouette.
Rather than being a hat defined by a single fixed direction, it is a structure whose value increases depending on the point from which it is seen.
Another defining feature of STRAW TWIST is that it has no fixed front or back.
Depending on which side is worn as the front, the framing of the face, the placement of volume, and the overall balance of the form all change.
This allows the wearer to choose the angle that appears most beautiful on them and complete the hat according to their own sense of balance.
Instead of adapting to a predetermined shape, the very act of deciding how to wear it becomes part of the styling.
STRAW TWIST is not a hat designed to follow a conventional silhouette.
It is a piece to be completed through the wearer’s own eye and sensibility.
