Hamburg is a city that relying on a lot of traditions. People here like to wear blue suits and pearl necklaces with matching earrings. Sometimes it suxxx, and sometimes it really nice to take a brake while things around us change with an extreme pace. Even Hamburg changes it’s face too fast at the moment. On every corner in my district, Hamburg is losing it’s old face that it is really famous for. So it’s nice to see the last hat maker “Lars Küntzel” is working together with “Yeahboy” and Uwe Jens Bermeintiger (model in photos), the co-founder of the nude and art magazine “Nude Paper“. Lars Küntzel is doing this typical hanseatic hats, blue and maritime, most worn by the older nordish generation.

As I grew up, I was totally fascinated by those hats. They broadcast a great authority to me. So it’s nice to see how people combine traditional old Hamburg with a new influce movement to capture and embody the zeitgeist of a generation. The limited edition original hand-made hats of Lars Küntzel “Reepschläger” will be avaible tomorrow only at “Yeahboy“.
ps. In Sweden young people…
