Take a white shirt for instance: V-neck, Cotton made, single stitched… Simple. No frills attached. Now take a pair of black wide leg pants: Invisible, unnoticed, double stitched, thermoplastic silk… Still categorized as simple. Look closer. Simplicity is often overlooked as people get drawn to the world of frills. The fur coats, the red and white polka dotted leather jacket, the velvet green dress with vintage gold and ruby buttons. An applause to the fancies, but it is the basics that make the outfit become the frills. Sue Maesta taught me that the most.
Creating a line of simple headbands that’s able to create twenty looks , Sue Maesta took this simple product from our childhood and brought sexy back ! A single headband able to be a hat, a scarf, a beanie, a hair tie and even a wrap. As a matter of personal policy for the last two weeks, I haven’t left my house without my new toy.
The simple design can fool anyone. It sure fooled me. But always look closer. Simplicity has more to offer than what the eye sees. Behind every white shirt is that tuck waiting to be created, that knot sitting in patience, and that necklace or jacket that will bring out endless possibilities onto that simple white V-neck shirt. Behind every Sue Maesta headband, is that twenty-first look waiting to be unfolded. There is power in simplicity.
These amazing headbands can be purchased at Ricky’s NYC.
