‘Observatory’ (visual content creators) joined forces with Haroun Ray, bespoke Millinery (hat maker) and founder of ‘Woody & Blue’ to Projection Map digital designs onto a Vegan fashion hat for a fun collaboration.
‘Woody + Blue’, named after Haroun’s cat and black spaniel dog, created his business as an artist, sculptor, painter and architect which sparked a volcano of ideas to create his own hat company. Haroun has many influences when creating his hats, pulling from different genres such as 20’s flapper style, the 40’s massive expression in Germany and France, 50’s era and contemporary/modern. They typically thrive with setting up tables at festivals and trade-shows to sell handmade hat creations to the public while also taking personal orders for Kentucky Derby, weddings, polo events, etc.
