Hats at a distance
The coronavirus epidemic encourages creativity: there are many challenges in the new reality that designers can help solve. For example, maintaining a distance from other people is such a challenge. Another creative and at the same time beautiful solution to this problem are Veronica Toppino projects.

As Veronica points out, the "Structure" project was created before the epidemic, not as an element of everyday fashion but as a work of art that can be worn. The main inspiration of the designer were crinolines and richly decorated hats worn in the 18th century. As the designer says, during the epidemic she returned to this project and thought that her hats might be the answer to the need for social distance. Just as crinolines in the nineteenth century protected the body from physical contact, so now hats can prove themselves in creating the required distance.
For example, crinolines became fashionable in the mid-nineteenth century, were used to keep distances in crowded public places, protecting women from "unbearable suitors". As the skirts became narrower at the beginning of the 20th century, large hats offered women the protection that crinolines had previously given.
As Veronica says, her "Structure" project is a continuation of the diploma project at London College of Fashion: a project inspired by Luigi Pirandello's novel "One, Nobody and One Hundred Thousand".
