Of Hats, Beanies, Boots and More - From Eugenia Kim

The Name

Eugenia Kim( visit the site ) is a cool, top of the rung, designer of luxury hats. Set up in 1998, she has diversified into elegant accessories and attractive footwear. With clean lines, audacious prints and lovely textures, the hats from Eugenia Kim are luxurious and truly fashionable. The designs are plenty and whatever you choose, you are bound to feel on top of the world.

The Eugenia Kim brand came into being almost accidentally. The young lady botched up her hair cut so bad, she needed to hide it. The only way out, she found, was to go bald and then cover her head. The handmade hat she wore caught the fancy of a few boutiques in New York and the rest is history!

The Trademark

Any brand is about the person who designed it as well as the people who choose to wear it. Eugenia Kim is no exception and is all about clean, classic shapes with a twist of feminine modernity, use of bold colors with unexpected trims that provide a playful sense of wit and appeal. An innovative approach to luxury coupled with high quality materials is the unmistakable signature of the brand Eugenia Kim.

The Collection

The brand Eugenia Kim initially launched as a millinery collection. However, it has expanded into other accessory offerings too. In 2004, she launched a footwear collection, which soon became such a rage. The brand now offers exclusive seasonal collections in beanies, earmuffs, boots, flats, fedoras and hats.

Each piece on offer is like a masterpiece crafted to perfection, keeping in mind the comfort of the person who will wear it. Added to this is the fact that each of the items is also of very high quality that seems to drive a legion of loyal fans of this brand.

An interesting fact about Eugena Kim is that she develops her design using MS Excel! She does not go with the norm of drawing on paper- she claims she doesn't know to draw!

A Luxury brand

Eugenia Kim is sold at luxury retailers such as Barneys New York who gave her the first order. Saks Fifth Avenue, Harvey Nichols, Net-a-Porter and Bergdorf Goodman have made this brand available too. Additionally, about 300 department stores and boutiques around the world, now sell her collections. The collections are all hand made in New York and they regularly feature in top fashion publications. It is a testimony to her commitment to provide high quality, innovative and exclusive stuff that has made sure that the brand has developed a cult celebrity following as well.

The Bright Future

A feather in the Eugenia Kim 'cap' is the CFDA's "Accessories Designer of the Year" award. What started out as an endeavor to cover her bald head with a feathered cloche of her own design, went on to attract the imagination of the fashion world! The future looks bright as her fans await the next collection with bated breath. You sure can expect the collection to trend along with the season!
