My hat is inspired by Philip Treacy's hat designs. The name of my hat is “Sonic Sparkle Horns.” It has two horns and two golden rings at the ends, inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog. My hat is very colourful, adorned with gems at the front and back. The shape of my hat is semi-circular. I admire the designs of Philip Treacy's hats. Some of his designs influence me through the elements on the hats and their overall form. The theme in my imagination came from my thoughts and the competition. I wanted my hat to be nice and colourful with the materials I have chosen. These choices are connected to my theme in the designs I selected. I chose these colours for my hat because I wanted them to match the colours of the gems I am using for the front and back of my hat. I hope people will view my hat positively, as I have put a great deal of effort into my hat and my designs.
