Cleaning depends on the material of your hat.

Performance Art & Headwear

For quite some time, Wilgart headwear have been collaborating with Japanese dancing and performing artist Mori Kiochiro. Many have admired his inspiring moves and futuristic shows. Recently the biggest national television broadcaster of Japan filmed him for months, to create a documentary about his special dance style and extraordinary work. Others are The Royal Theather of Copenhagen, Tiësto, Jacob Elk, Olafur Eliason and many more. Below is the some example of Mori’s talent.

Wilgart is making special caps that suit the needs for Moris various performances. Collaborating with talented artists like Mori Kiochiro is booth fun and inspiring for us. Headwear especially plays a central role to a person’s character and style. Which is why we always sit down and discuss what unique features that are required, for the next piece of headwear developed for a specific artist. One of the challenges with especially dance performance headwear is obviously that the headwear should sit tight, and not move during performances. Design of the brim and shape of the hat, also changes how the light, shadow and silhouette is acting on stage. These are amongst the topics when designed headwear translates from professional capmaker to professional artist.

This blog post explains our own attempts so far, from the very personal introduction video that is self recorded with a handheld camera, to the professional filmmaker collaborations that create a slightly more polished look. Some of our intro videos are artistic stylish while others are created as an authentic documentary about the company and it´s owner.

When not sewing and designing headwear for foreigners and locals in Copenhagen, we spend our time, trying to make this site about the only capmaker in Denmark unfold the full potential. And making video seems to be, by far, the most fun way to achieve your attention.

When we clarify to people that Wilgart is offering experiences and not products, they first looking suspiciously. However, as we further explain the adventures Wilgart so far encountered and the history about origin in materials and final designs it becomes clearer that the unique cap alone is actually only a materialization of a much larger history to be explored and continued. It turns out that the adventures about establishing Wilgart and the stories behind the handcrafted caps, are actually key to understand and appreciate the personality and value our quality hats and caps can offer.

When not talking to you in our workshop or in person, this website becomes the natural place to explain our story. The introduction video is a crucial element in accomplishing this, thus therefore has Wilgart done a lot of different videos trying to explain the story of our small company.
