After blogging for two years, I received my first invitation to a Collection Launch Event. I'm not gonna lie I was thrilled to attend the Helen Kaminski event as a blogger. Apart from the official launch of its SS14 collection, it is also the first time HongKongers can get their hands on a Helen Kaminski through online ordering and local delivery services. Among the crochet, fedora, braid and floppy hats, my personal favourite was the very unique 'Hepburn classic'. The sophistication of Helen Kaminski's craftsmanship rooted from the fact that the very first handcrafted raffia hat created in 1983 was made to protect her children from searing Australian sun. The brand's attention to the smallest details can be seen through their UPF 50+ protection and water resistant hat collections.

Fashion trend comes and goes, therefore it is important that one digs for the outfits that fit perfectly to the body. This rule also applies to the search of a perfect hat that makes you stand out.
