At that time, for me, the slim volumes of poems became something I could pick up easily for a bite size story or image. I was enjoying reading the stream of consciousness style of Patti Smith, and works by Leonard Cohen. I connected immediately with the words written by Gord Downie, as he wrote with good humour and insight. It was personal, sparse, gritty. My well worn copy is full of notes, underlines, doodles. I visit it from time to time, like an old friend. When I was approached to design a series of hats to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Coke Machine Glow, I wanted to draw upon the sharpness of the words, but also keep it accessible and uncomplicated. I settled on a creamy white palm straw. The shape is slightly western, folky like the songs on the record. Named "Chancellor" and "Trick Rider" two of my favourite listens, two of my favourite reads. Both looks are very distinct, layered with a nod to the stunning, original orange and fuchsia of the cover art, but with some edgy rock and roll details. There is a light hearted casualness in this capsule collection, which can be worn by both men and women. Easily read. Easily worn. Karyn Ruiz - Lilliput Hats The Hats The hats in this collection are a limited edition. There are 100 pieces of "Chancellor" and 100 pieces of "Trick Rider" totalling 200 altogether.
