Artist Spotlight: Sideara St. Claire (@shopsideara), pictured on the cover, wears a dirtbike helmet she crafted entirely of lace and wire. This being Sideara’s first go at a new technique, the process took over 45 hours of wirework and hand sewing. Obsessed with the craft of experimentation, it seems as though anything can be turned into headwear under her meticulous hands.

Hatmaking, also known as millinery, found Sideara by accident. She woke up one day surrounded by hats she’d made, piled under her bed and hung across her walls. This led her to seek out specific knowledge and become engrossed with the dying art form, kept alive today by those willing to learn from the past.
