Egypt's ‘Kultured Glass' Asks You to Wear Your Heart on Your Head
Egypt's 'Kultured Glass' Asks You to Wear Your Heart on Your Head Egyptian designer Rawan ElSheikh, creator of London-based brand Stick a Pin in It, is a woman of many hats - both literal and figurative. After graduating with a degree in marketing management and psychology, she initially hesitated to pursue a creative career. Under the alias Kultured Glass - a name sparked by a scene she stumbled upon in an abandoned restaurant while exploring photography - she began building a portfolio that spanned campaign shoots, Fashion Week coverage in London and New York, styling gigs, video editing, and light assistance work. In her own words: 'Basically anything I can do - or can learn to do.' Somewhere between all those roles came the idea of making her own hats. 'I wanted a cap that had character, but I couldn't find anything that quite scratched that itch for me. So, I made it.' Over the course of our flickering Google Meet call, one thing became increasingly clear: ElSheikh wasn't going to let anyone else define her character - or the character of the hats she wears. 'Growing up,' she recalls, 'my mum was very DIY with clothes. She's an artist - a painter - and brought that creativity to mending everything that needed it. Without noticing, I did the same; I mended my own clothes and made alterations when I wanted to, like that time I stuck pins into a hoodie. So when I wanted that hat, I got a cap, ripped it up, and put pins in it.' Her 'toolbox' is more like a forager's basket: a face razor, tweezers, pins (of course), pearls, and whatever small charms or strings she happens upon that might work on a hat. She sources unused or barely-used caps from Depop, selecting those with an existing flair, and works from the floor of her bedroom. The process is as personal as it is physical - tactile and meditative. 'I never begin working on a hat knowing what it's going to end up looking like; it's a very intuitive process that shifts and morphs until the hat is finished. I don't even think about it, either; I just get into the flow and it just happens. It becomes something. One time, I started out making a hat and halfway through, I realised this hat was being made for a friend of mine. I don't even know how it happened, but I showed it to them and it indeed was made for them.' What captivates her most is the transformation from concept to tangible piece. 'A really meaningful moment in the history of Stick a Pin in It is when I got to give an artist I love and look up to a hat I made. I thought, 'It would be insane if he wore it, but it means everything already that he holds and owns something I made with my hands on the floor of my room.'' Though ElSheikh insists her process 'might seem relatively straightforward,' a glance at her portfolio suggests otherwise. There's no pattern to the distressing, no fixed placement for pins, no strict colour schemes. Every hat has a name, a distinct personality - one that wears you as much as you wear it. 'I felt this in my heart, but it wasn't until I actually got this comment from customers and friends that I knew it was true. The hats have distinct energies. They make you feel a certain way; they speak before you do. One girl told me her hat makes her 'feel like a bad b*tch.'' That energy is part of the craft. 'I don't work on a cap if I'm not in a good mood. I put my energy into the making of each hat because I want the person to feel it. It's a sacred thing made with love and care.' Given the intimacy of her process, Stick a Pin in It will always remain slow in production. The hats are as much wearable art as they are accessories - recognisable, individual, and deliberately unhurried. ElSheikh is even considering an exhibition. And while her pace is measured, the brand's scope is widening: Stick a Pin in It will soon expand into clothing as well as accessories. After all, its very first piece was a hoodie.

I feel the best gift I can give to him as a Mother - is to ask everyone to do what they can to help save the innocent children caught in the crossfire in Gaza. I am not pointing fingers, placing blame or taking sides. Everyone is suffering. I am merely trying to do what I can to keep these children from dying of starvation. ♥️" She also posted several links to worldwide organizations that help Palestinians in Gaza such as World Central Kitchen, asking her followers to donate. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
