I was so excited to find out today that fabulous luxury hat designer Eugenia Kim has released a special lower priced line for Urban Outfitters called Eek!. Eugenia Kim is one of the biggest names in the hat industry, so it’s amazing that this collaboration will feature hats and hair accessories for less than $50!
The designs are vintage-inspired, but incorporate subtle modern detailing with leather, chains, and animal print that will fit in perfectly with the rocker styles that are popular for Fall.

Eek! by Eugenia Kim Heart Cloche $48
Even though the cloche was a huge hit last Fall/Winter, it’s still my favorite hat for Fall/Winter 2009. This vintage 20’s-inspired felt cloche in a creamy ivory has a black leather band with an abstract gathered leather heart. It also comes in navy.

Eek! by Eugenia Kim Animal Cloche $48
Here is another lovely felted wool cloche with subtle detailing on the brim. The camel hat is paired with a thin leopard-print hatband with an antiqued gold clasp and chain. There is also a black hat with a zebra-print hatband.

Eek! by Eugenia Kim Belt Beret $38
I love this fluffy super soft knit beret with oversized cables and an adorable belt pattern stitched along the edge. These floppy-style berets will also be extremely popular this Fall. The grey with purple is my favorite color combo, but it also comes in creme with grey, and aqua with grey.

Eek! by Eugenia Kim Headband $28
The Eek! line will also feature hair accessories. This was the first piece that was released online, but I will post more as soon as they are available! This is a beautiful silky wide headband with an asymmetrical navy bow.
Eugenia Kim says that she named the line Eek! because she loves mice! She says that they are “neurotic, high energy, furtively looking around a lot, and very stimulated.” It will be interesting to see how she incorporates that concept into her pieces…
