I'm thrilled to announce my first hard copy cover feature in Interview Magazine! In the Spring April 2024 issue, Rihanna graces the pages wearing a stunning custom nuns habit that showcases both her bold fashion choices and the artistry of my millinery creations. Styled by Mel Ottenberg, this editorial is the culmination of the best of the best in styling and artistry. Ottenberg’s influence extends beyond individual celebrity looks. His ability to merge eclectic styles, incorporate unconventional elements, and push traditional fashion boundaries has set new standards in styling. By embracing diversity and challenging norms, he has contributed to a more inclusive and dynamic fashion landscape. For this reason it was such an honor to create a custom piece of millinery magic for this editorial.
Rihanna has solidified herself as a true fashion icon, effortlessly transcending trends and expectations with her daring style and impeccable taste. Whether she's dazzling in glamorous couture on the red carpet or pushing boundaries with avant-garde creations like this custom nuns habit, Rihanna consistently proves her ability to wear anything with confidence and grace. Mel Ottenberg’s styling of the nuns' habit is subversive and sexy, playing on old covers of Playboy and using an unexpected and typically conservative piece of garb as the focal point creates tension and intrigue.
Photographed by Nadia Lee Cohen, the editorial captures Rihanna in a mesmerizing blend of avant-garde fashion and theatrical flair. Nadia Lee Cohen has made a significant mark on the fashion and art worlds with her distinctive and provocative visual style. Known for her striking, surrealist-inspired photography, Cohen has transformed traditional notions of fashion imagery through her unique approach. The custom nuns habit, made with care and precision, takes center stage with its intricate details and unique design, compliment Cohen’s signature photography style.
My hat's role in Rihanna's ensemble goes beyond mere accessory—it becomes a defining piece that elevates the entire editorial. Its craftsmanship and innovative style perfectly complement Rihanna's fearless attitude and her ability to effortlessly merge high fashion with personal expression.
This cover is not just a fashion statement but also a cultural moment. Rihanna’s powerful presence and the cover’s artistic direction resonate with her ongoing influence as a trendsetter and cultural icon. The imagery and themes explored in this issue reflect her ability to blend high fashion with personal empowerment, making a statement about individuality and the evolving nature of celebrity style.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in my journey as a milliner, showcasing my ability to create pieces that not only adorn but also define fashion narratives at the highest level. Already we’ve seen people replicate the cover through art or even attempting to make the nuns habit themselves. This kind of cultural moment is why I love making hats so much. You never know where they’ll end up! The combination of Rihanna's star power, Nadia Lee Cohen's visionary photography, and Mel Ottenberg's impeccable styling ensures that my hat and my artistry reach a global audience, setting trends and inspiring fashion enthusiasts worldwide.
