In her Spring
2012 collection, Jil Sander presented a hat that fused today’s modern beanie
with French veil netting. It was instantly popular among bloggers like BryanBoy
and fashion journalists like Anna Dello Russo. Although this hat was released
almost three years ago, I still believe that it is a fashion forward piece that
can’t really be considered “last season”. In fact, I never liked the term “last
season”, because fashion is meant to be WORN. And if you going to spend $440.00
for a beanie, then you should have the obligation to wear it as much and for as
long as you like. This is of course one of my personal opinions.
However, I, being on a high school student’s salary, could
not afford a $440.00 Jil Sander hat. So what did I do? I got creative (searched
“DIY Jil Sander Hat” Google). I found one specific DIY Tutorial that I used,
and I personally can’t tell the difference. So see for yourself below, the Jil
Sander vs. my own homemade one.
Jil Sander Veiled Beanie: $440.00
My Own Veiled Beanie: $3.50 (for the materials)
