There is just no way in hell that Phillip Botha could ever be ordinary. Life is a wonderland for this hatter from Kempton Park, whose philosophy is based on a single rule of thumb that he lives by. Being alive is about joy, love and a big smile. Its authentic, idealistic and a notion as eccentric as he is. But its in the best way possible.
The essence of life is the love for a soul, Botha said. If I can truly love your soul and see what you need, I can fulfil that need through anything creative that brings beauty into your life.
For him, that beauty often comes in the form of hats. Glorious and theatrical hats. Botha has been making them since 1992.
