Vegetable Hats

A project in collaboration with Miho Shimizu for Companis’ Rude Food Fiesta, Birmingham, 2013

Miho and I had been thinking about headdresses and collecting costume research for a while when we started speaking to Companis about their food festival. We read Rabelais’ description of a giant eating 6 pilgrims in a salad before we started work on this collection.
