I met Hirohisa Yokoyama, milliner, at his atelier in New York on July 27, 2010.  I asked him what his romance was.  He said, “I have 2 romances.  One is making love.  Another one is believing in myself.  I am a hat designer, but I didn’t learn any fashion and hat designs at school.  I believe in myself.  Some of my hats can’t be worn because they are too heavy, too big, too hot….but I don’t care.”  I asked him if that was why you had won the first prize in the Hat Designer of The Year 2008 at Premiere Classe in Paris.  He said, “yes.”  I asked where Lewis was because his hat company is called “Hirohisa & Lewis.”  He said, “Lewis is dead because of overdose.  No, just kidding!  Lewis doesn’t work here.  It’s like Johnson & Johnson.  I design, make, and sell hats.”
