Vintage Giorgio Armani Black Sculptural Wide Brim Eye Hat

This hat cannot help but evoke the vivid millinery displayed during royal events in Great Britain. Renowned Italian designer Giorgio Armani brings the same sophistication to this hat that he brings to his clothing design. Featuring dyed black sisal, the crown is coiled into a crisp dome. A rayon mesh brim cantilevers weightlessly in a dramatic side-to-side sweep. The asymmetrical eye-shape of the brim is abstract and emphatic, but its semi-transparency avoids the trappings of brashness. The overall effect is one of refinement, and pairs fabulously with a beautiful afternoon dress or finely cut suit.

This vintage Giorgio Armani hat from the late 20th century is in excellent condition. The rigid crown is made from hand-stitched braided sisal, coiled into a crisp dome shape. The interior headband is finished with a black twill tape for a comfortable fit. The broad brim, which reads as an abstract eye or black teardrop, is constructed from a rigid rayon mesh and edged in black gros-grain ribbon. High-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.
