FRIK N FRAK HATs

It all started when…

I was inspired to create hats for friends as gifts. I’ve always loved to create editorial styles on hair using many forms of props through my career in hairstyling. So it felt natural to create hats that had a personal touch to offer my friends.

It started with a couple of hats I created as gifts for friends for a a girls trip I took to Sedona in 2022. During this time on our trip I received requests and compliments on the hats I created and it took me by suprise! Everywhere we went with our hats on people inquired and wanted to place orders. With the encouragement of friends I decided to create more hats to sell them at local shops in my hometown of Alpharetta, and take custom orders for one of kind hats.

The name of my hat line came to me quickly as I often reference my late friend Naomi for being such a creative inspiration in my life. In my time with Naomi we shared the love of creating editorial looks for fashion shoots and designing accessories together. FriknFrak is a play on words from the orginal Frick and Frack which means any two people who are closely linked in some way, especially through a work partnership or strong friendship. We were often called Frick and Frack because of our bond in our work creatively and personally during our time as roommates in the early 90s.

As we both discovered a cancer diagnosis at the same time in 2016 we began to spend some time doing creative projects with jewelry and leather. We thought to take this time to focus on our art and develop and accessory line called Frik n Frak as a form of healing. Unfortunately time was cut short for my sweet, creative and inspiring friend and she passed in 2018.

In her honor I’ve dedicated my art, jewelry and hat designs as @friknfrakdesigns . Naomi continues to live in my art and heart.
