THE TOP HAT GIRL #
THE
idea
It all started with a CHALLENGE during a class at fashion school: create a collection that combines a SUBCULTURE with a famous FASHION DESIGNER, in an unexpected way.
That’s when the IDEA emerged... The dark PUNK subculture and the glamour of CHRISTIAN DIOR.
“The Top Hat Girl” is about WOMEN EMPOWERMENT and their complexity: strong, tough, vulnerable and kind.
An
homage
to
women!

collection

Introducing “The Top Hat Girl”, a truly limited edition collection that embodies uniqueness and craftsmanship.
Each garment is crafted from deadstock fabrics sourced from the renowned João Pereira Guimarães knitwear factory and specialized fabric warehouses, ensuring that many of the pieces are one-of-a-kind or produced in limited quantities. The buttons adorning these creations are ancient treasures, sourced from the historic button shops of Porto: “Botónia” and “Casa dos Forros”, adding a touch of nostalgia and exclusivity to every item.
A standout feature is the exquisite stone application on the White Cocoon Coat, skillfully embroidered by “Bordados Oliveira”, a Portuguese company celebrated for its dedication to traditional embroidery techniques.
Every piece in this collection has been thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted, resembling true works of art.
In conclusion, “The Top Hat Girl” is not just a collection. It’s an invitation to embrace individuality and artistry. By choosing these unique pieces, you are not only investing in timeless fashion but also supporting sustainable practices and the love of craftsmanship. Discover the beauty of exclusivity and join us in celebrating an artist that values creativity and authenticity. Love the artist, love the art.
