Collar zone: 10 marks, producing removable collars
Cece toppings
One day, American Jamie Turks put a sweater on top of her favorite shirt and felt uncomfortable. Then she took the scissors and cut off most of the shirt, leaving the collar with the shirt intact. The resulting wardrobe item, called topping, was appreciated by friends of Jamie, and she decided to create her own brand CeCe Toppings. Now the Turki brand produces hat-shaped sleeves with sharp corners, with round collars in the style of Peter Pen and frill-collars with removable bows. In CeCe Toppings, they are either plain, for example white, pink or blue, or with a print - leopard, checkered or in peas.

Eleven Objects sew them from leather, pony and silk skins, decorate them with drawings, and also decorate them with Swarovski sparkles, rivets and rhinestones.
