Top hats…for summer

SuperDuper Hats and Lotho: Diamond Point

4th July 2013 If there is one thing to buy this summer it’s a proper, smart, beautifully made hat. These ones at SuperDuper Hats are covetable, cute – and made with love by hand. The label won a prestigious Who is On Next award? at Pitti Uomo last month, and they have recently collaborated with Lotho, the Parisian eyewear label, with a series called “Diamond Point” featuring hats and pince-nez (S/S 2013 collection). (Above: Panama, The Monk, 265 euros).

Super Duper Hats and Lotho
Elettra by Super Duper Hats / Lotho: 270 euros

The reworked pince-nez designs are attached to the hats by an elegant gold chain, and when not worn, sit on the  brim, making a decorative statement. Simple, quirky and ever so wearable. Buy SuperDuper Hats online at www.superduperhats.com www.lotho.fr CN

Malo

Lafont Paris

This is a fun frame in crystal acetate with confetti sparkles that enliven the perky round shape. The bright pink is contrasted with a darker tone on the metal temple, and the rubber ends provide a comfortable fit, so that glasses stay in place on active little faces. There are other delicious colours too – blue marine, rich red and black. This is just one example of Lafont’s diverse collection of children’s eyewear. www.lafont.com JG
