Hello there. Vivian whipped up a new classic hat design and called it Splash. It is inspired by the work of renown creative artist Jackson Pollock. She recently renamed the design Jackie Splash in honour of Mr Pollock. You can use either one.

Vivian has always been a huge Pollock fan. Take a look at some of the the work of this fascinating artist.

Jackson Pollock

Jackson Pollock was an influential American painter, and the leading force behind the abstract expressionist movement in the art world. During his lifetime, Pollock enjoyed considerable fame and notoriety.

Jackson Pollock’s greatness lies in developing one of the most radical abstract styles in the history of modern art, detaching line from color, redefining the categories of drawing and painting, and finding new means to describe pictorial space.

Even more than a century since his birth, American “splatter artist” Jackson Pollock still provokes heated debate about the very definition of art. Was a man who placed a canvas on the floor and dripped paint straight from the can actually creating a work of art? Watch WBUR.org »

Here are a few examples from this exciting, groundbreaking artist. The first is Vivian’s all-time favourite.

Anita

The “Anita” cross-banded turban is one of Hattingdon fans’ all-time favourites. This elegant look comes in three colourways — black, blue and multi. Perfect for protecting your mane in summer.

We have a surprise look too. Vivian was inspired to reinterpret the “Cherie” classic hat as a cross-banded turban — including the button. It is gorgeous! Here they are.

“Pink is the color of universal love of oneself and of others. Pink represents friendship, affection, harmony, inner peace, and approachability. Pink is the official color for little girls and represents sugar and spice and everything nice. Pink is the sweet side of the color red.

According to surveys in Europe and the United States, pink is the color most often associated with charm, politeness, sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, femininity, and romance. Pink is also thought of as meaning purity, integrity, nobility and kindness.” Source: Bourne Creative.

More about pink

The word pink is derived from the Danish term pinck oogen, which translates as half-closed eyes or small eyes, a clear reference to the appearance of the dianthus flower. Unbelievably, the word pink —referring to a color — was not used until the end of the 1700s, and not in general use until the 1800s.

The Urban Dictionary says: “In good health. In the 1500s pink meant “the embodiment of perfection,” but the current idiom (in good health) dates only from about 1900”.

The Grammarist says: “In the pink is an English idiom that means to be at the peak of health, to be in perfect condition. The expression in the pink to mean to be at the peak of health goes back to the 1500s when the word pink did not refer to a color.”
