About the work

Beca Lipscombe has created Head Gear, 2021, a two-part edition comprising a silk crepe scarf and leather visor, especially for Whitechapel Gallery to accompany the exhibition Eileen Agar: Angel of Anarchy, 19 May – 29 Aug 2021.

Lipscombe takes Inspiration for her edition from a number of sources: Ivan Lendl’s legionnaire’s hat from 1990; the support structure created by the V&A’s conservation department for the display of Eileen Agar’s ‘Hat for Eating Bouillabaisse’; a sketch of a statue of a horse’s head by Agar, a lucky horseshoe leather stamp and the second version Agar’s ‘Angel of Anarchy’.

Intended to be worn together, the scarf and visor ensemble is a nod to Agar’s wearable hat sculptures and elan wardrobe choices. The silk scarf depicts Agar’s sketch of a horse’s head. The visor is embossed with a tiny lucky horseshoe, inspired by another of Agar’s drawings.

About the artist

Beca Lipscombe is a Scottish fashion and textile designer, printmaker, and one half of Atelier E.B. A graduate of Central St Martins, Lipscombe’s professional practice is multi-layered and draws upon a vernacular aesthetic. This sensibility was evident in both her eponymous label and her work as a freelance designer for various companies including Liberty, Chloé, Stella McCartney and Ann-Sofie Back.

Now, under the umbrella of their label Atelier E.B with artist Lucy McKenzie, Lipscombe operates in the space between design, art and commerce, responding to and critiquing the tensions generated by these uneasy bedfellows. 

*With thanks to McRostie, Scotland.

You won't regret buying these pillows, they're absolutely perfect.
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
I absolutely love these pillows, I love the fact that they come with a cover to protect them. They're just the right amount of density to them to make them extremely comfortable. They don't flatten down and just stay flat. I've had one set of them for quite a while now and they're still just as good as the brand new ones that I bought. Eventually I will be replacing every pillow in my house with these pillows. They're very well made, The filling is just right, the size is perfect, the quality is absolutely amazing. If you buy these pillows you won't regret it, they're literally the probably the best pillows I've ever bought. And also one of the cheaper ones that I bought in price not quality. And I've never bought any of the store that come with the protective covers with them either. I do highly recommend them.

This pillow is great. It supports my head and is just the right softness. Love the fact that it is machine washable. Would definitely purchase it again.

Would buy again
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
I bought these pillows with the pillow protectors included. After 15 minutes of fluffing the pillows in the dryer they took their shape and were ready to use.

Nice medium thickness. Fits in shames great. Firm for a medium but will work well
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
Nice pillows for the price. I got the medium thickness and it’s a little stiff, but I think once slept on, it should soften up a bit, but if you like a softer or flatter pillow, definitely go for the soft one. But the quality seems to be very well-made. It puffed up straight out of the package. It didn’t have any smell whatsoever, and it fit perfectly in my standard size shams.
