Gaddani
by Ann Weaver
Named for the largest shipbreaking yard in Pakistan, Gaddani was styled after the hats and head wraps the shipbreakers wear to protect themselves. As I created the hat, I was grateful to be making it to protect my head from winter chills.
You can read more about shipbreaking in Gaddani here:

The work of photographer Gmb Akash was central to this design and to my understanding of hard labor and industry in developing countries:
