ugly truth


Last night at Odin New York, signature mannequin heads sprinkled the crowded Soho store, each adorned with a custom-made hat by milliner Albertus Swanepoel. The exhibition, "‪A Milliner's Story: Albertus Swanepoel,"‬ brought together eight brands, including Richard Chai, Suno, and Band of Outsiders, to collaborate their label's aesthetic with Swanepoel's designs.


"The artisan is kind of dying in fashion—Prom dresses Above 200 in all industries," said Eddy Chai, co-founder of Odin and Richard Chai's brother. "Albert is someone who has been training and really honing his craft for a decade. That's something that should be commended."


Richard Chai added: "He is one of the few [designers] in New York who actually makes handmade hats."view more
