An Artisan from Australia Visits Japan on October 15th (Saturday)!

The standout item in the 2011 Autumn/Winter collection for the men's line "KAMINSKI XY" is the "flat top" hat, a must-have for stylish and well-dressed men. This season's fur felt hats are particularly striking, offering contemporary elegance in their flat, oval crowns while maintaining a connection to traditional menswear styles.

The "CAMERON" flat top hat pictured above is a packable fur felt hat. Made with high-quality materials, it's designed to be easily rolled for transport and to regain its shape when worn. It comes with a special cloth bag to protect the hat when folded and a boar bristle brush to maintain its textured finish.

The "CARLYLE" flat top hat, shown lower left, is a classic velour fur felt hat crafted using traditional felt techniques with fine European rabbit fur. This original HELEN KAMINSKI design complements tailored jackets.

The "BINGHAM" trapper hat, featured upper right, embodies the wild, country-inspired trend seen on this season's runways, infused with HELEN KAMINSKI's signature urban sophistication. Crafted from warm, comfortable sheepskin and waterproof twill, it's the ultimate fashion accessory. The natural curl sheepskin is a limited-edition material, available only in small quantities each season.

The "GILES" twill hat, shown lower left, is a functional and practical choice for active pursuits. Made from breathable, fine twill, it's machine washable in cold water and dries considerably faster than standard cotton fabrics.

The "FRASER," upper right, features a textured Italian bouclé with diagonal stripes, a hallmark of this season's new materials. It's a versatile piece suitable for both city and outdoor wear.

The "WINTON" and "FALCON," shown lower left, are hand-crocheted pieces made from alpaca wool. Crafted from a blend of insulating alpaca and lamb's wool, this season's new material is crocheted with a durable ladder stitch.

On Saturday, October 15th, an artisan from Australia will visit the flagship store, HELEN KAMINSKI Roppongi Hills, for a live crafting demonstration. Customers who purchase items on the day will receive a leather pass case as a novelty gift. Additionally, HELEN KAMINSKI shop cards will receive double points on this day.
