Same Head, Different Hat

This painting was created for a financial article titled "Old is New - With a Twist," published in aiCIO Magazine. The artwork explores the idea of reimagining traditional styles through a modern lens, featuring a character who abandons the common baseball cap in favor of the refined sophistication of a top hat. This playful juxtaposition highlights the enduring appeal of classic fashion with a contemporary twist.

Art-directed by SooJin Buzelli, known for her talent in assigning visually dynamic and thought-provoking projects, the piece encapsulates humor and elegance. Reflecting on the concept, the artist stated, "I thought it would be fun to show a character abandoning the common baseball cap in favour of a top hat. So much more stylish!" As the artist playfully puts it, "So yeah, lose that baseball cap—the top hat is back!" The result is a vibrant celebration of the resurgence of timeless style.
