Millinery

Today in school we learned about hats. Normally, I look at a hat and I think " Golly gee, that sure is a fine hat, but I can't pull it off." And then my teacher busted out the Philip Treacy and I changed my mind. The problem with me and hats was that I was looking at mediocre hats. A hat should be extravagant. It truly is a metaphor for ones self. Your entire being is carried inside your head, why not adorn it with something fabulously you? And I believe Lady Gaga said it best when she said (and I'm paraphrasing) "A hat is a social canopy". I love the idea of that!


My absolute favorite hat Philip Treacy for Alexander McQueen. Spring / Summer 2008.
