As one of London's most prominent young fashion duos Paul Bernstock and Thelma Speirs are credited with changing the image of hats. Part of a group of fashion rebels, they surfaced in the British club scene of the early 1980s.

Their designs range from classic styles with a twist to the outrageous. Inventive brochures show their hats worn by pop stars, actors and various media folk.
