Skyscraper

This beautifully crafted hat, inspired by the iconic Empire State Building, captures the charm and architectural elegance of New York City. During my recent trip to NYC, one of my primary goals was to visit the breathtaking observatory of this famed skyscraper. Unfortunately, the closest I got was a quick stroll past its grand entrance on my way to the subway station. I managed to snap a few candid photos from the street and had to come to terms with not reaching the top.

Upon returning home, I reviewed my hastily taken photos and found myself completely captivated by the intriguing waffle pattern of the windows. I was inspired by how the eye travels upward, step by step, culminating in a stunning view of the blue skies above. Drawing from this architectural beauty, I decided to create the Skyscraper hat, a delightful accessory that combines warmth and style.
