Mad Hatter

This holiday season, fashion is filled with whimsical elegance as the return of hats comes in full play. Thanks to Louis Vuitton’s bunny-like hair adornment and the return of ‘40s inspired looks, the fanciful appeal of noteworthy hair-loom like pieces have gone beyond the charm of old world afternoon tea parties. Hair apparent fascination is pushing style forward with amusing pleasantries despite all the seriousness around. Undoubtedly, these mane attractions have become elements of style that create a distinct personal statement worthy of the spotlight. Mad hatters at this day and age are beyond restrictions and crossover endless boundaries from the traditional. Though classic pieces still remain for the sole purpose of function, new creations through modern experimentation have become artsy masterpieces that can cater to a range of individual style. The appearance of wonderful millinery in the recent Fall-Winter ‘09 collections seemed like a tribute to the iconic Philip Treacy. For a while the art of making hats has taken the backseat, but current sightings proved style is bringing it back. After all, can you imagine fashioning the world without hats?
