Japanese designer makes cat hair hats
30.7.2019
Translation: machine translated
Japanese craftsman and photographer Ryo Yamazaki designs cat caps made of cat hair. With the latest designs, the pussycats can transform and become, for example, lion cubs. A bit strange, but also fun.
In 2017, photographer Ryo Yamazaki first made his mark on social media with cat caps called "Nukege", which means fur or hair in Japanese. The caps are made from the hair of his own cats. The hair is felted so that it can be used to make a wide variety of hats.
In the meantime, the designer has also infected his wife Hiromi with his work. The couple regularly present their creations worn by their furry cats and post pictures on their Instagram profiles Rojiman and Umatan. According to their owners, the cats do not mind wearing these hats because they are light and have their own smell. Ryo is responsible for taking photos of the cats wearing their creations and posting them. Meanwhile, Hiromi designs and creates new models.
What does Trump think about this?
Recently, hats have increasingly taken on a wig-like character and it is possible to disguise cats as your idols. Thanks to 'Trump Tubes' or 'Princess Leia' you can turn them into politicians or film characters. The deceptive effects and references amuse and make the cats 'Instagram-worthy'.
Sustainable raw material
Nukege Hats are not only a fashion accessory, but also proof of what can be done with natural by-products. Thanks to Yamazaki's know-how, cat hair is recycled and transformed into an environmentally friendly material that can also be used for products other than hats. So far, Nukege Hats are only available for cats, but who knows, maybe in the future the designers will also use cat hair for other projects.
