Known for his handcrafted hats worn by artists, musicians, and Hollywood creatives alike, Nick Fouquet has established himself as one of the most distinctive contemporary milliners of his generation. Designed and made in Los Angeles, his work merges traditional hatmaking with a deeply personal artistic language — shaped by Americana, French post-war culture, and an enduring reverence for craftsmanship.

This sensibility now enters a new chapter in collaboration with Jacques Marie Mage. Inspired by the cinematic atmosphere of the French Riviera, French New Wave cinema, and the effortless elegance of the late 1960s and early 70s, the collection unites sculptural eyewear design with Fouquet’s unmistakable sense of character and individuality.


Handcrafted in Japan from precious materials such as cured cellulose acetate and ultra-light beta titanium, the pieces balance architectural precision with an easy, cultivated nonchalance. Deep bevels, refined metal accents, and sun-faded tones evoke a world of coastal villas, slow drives, and long summer evenings – timeless objects created not for trends, but for personalities.

We are proud to present the strictly limited Nick Fouquet for Jacques Marie Mage collection at Leidmann. 

Yours Christian Leidmann
