R H U D E × Sotheby's Wine: One-of-One Collector's Hat

Designed exclusively for Sotheby's Wine, this one-of-one custom hat is created by Rhuigi Villaseñor, founder and creative director and founder of R H U D E, in collaboration with Richard Young of Sotheby's Wine. Inspired by Villaseñor's personal passion for wine collecting and global wine culture, the piece brings together fashion, lifestyle, and wine in a singular expression.

Much like a great vintage wine produced only once, this hat is the sole expression of its kind and never to be repeated. Produced as a unique work of art and defined by its moment of creation, it stands as a true collector's item at the intersection of contemporary design and fine wine.

The successful bidder will also be invited to an exceptional private experience: the "R H U D E Wine Party" co-hosted by Rhuigi Villaseñor and Richard Young of Sotheby's Wine. This intimate gathering will feature a curated selection of the world's finest wines from iconic producers and will take place in Los Angeles, New York, or Lake Como.

Date to be mutually agreed. Travel and accommodation not included. For more information, please contact the wine department.

R H U D E, founded by Rhuigi Villaseñor in 2015, is a design venture born out of Los Angeles, balancing luxury techniques with streetwear elements, showcased as ready-to-wear collections.

Designed from a narrative standpoint R H U D E is both a reflection of modern socioeconomics and personal stories as Villaseñor came to Los Angeles. Now a reoccurring theme season-to-season, R H U D E combines American iconography with nostalgic references, a visual commentary on Los Angeles style and culture itself. Rhuigi studied art history shortly after graduating HS and was an understudy/intern to Shaun Samson.

With no formal training specific to fashion design, Villaseñor credits his understanding of garments and construction to growing up with a mother who was a tailor, providing a foundation and understanding of how to build each piece and the subsequent stories told with each collection.

RHUDE’s journey parallels Villaseñor, chronicling the evolution of a man from adolescence to maturity, a narrative reflected each collections both the Creative Director and brand continues to grow-up with its ever-expanding fanbase, culminating in the most recent debut presentation during Paris Men’s Fashion Week for the Spring/Summer 2020 Collection.
