Africa and The Wonderful World of Gele Headwraps

It is a quintessentially African garment made from a length of stiff woven fabric, most often damask, cotton brocade, or a thickly woven African silk called Aso-ok. Every African girl learns how to wrap a gele the way American teenagers learn to apply eye makeup.

Amazing Paper Hats at the Annual ADCD Paper Fashion Show

It’s no wonder people in Denver love this event. Who knew such marvelous, creative fashions could be made from paper ( ok well there’s just a bit of paper mache, but that counts as paper too). Not all the models are wearing hats, but those that are….. well all I can say is WOW!

Naked and Pregnant in Hats at London Fashion Week

The hats kind of got lost in the sauce, and they really deserve a closer look. Beautiful shapes, classic design with just a soucon of fun, the hats have a kind of hip but classic elegance that will hold up long after the naked models have put their clothes back on and gone home.

Big Hats and Marc Jacobs at NYC Fall Fashion Week 2012

The big hat is the big buzz at New York’s Fall fashion Week this year. Tuesday, Marc Jacobs ’ Valentines Day runway show set them all talking about the huge hats, lavish use of fur, and a look that is a cross between Victorian valentine and urban grunge. It’s a whimsical combination of Captian Hook and Anna Karenina and it totally works.

Fine Feathered Hats

I love this photo AND the hat with its fabulous peacock feathered face and head look. I found it on Tumblr— orphaned and unidentified and I have...

Cutting Edge Crochet

Usually, I think of crochet hats as being for cute little babies or ground gripping grannies. I don’t usually think of crochet as cutting edge fashion but then along came Zaini hats and knocked all my crochet preconceptions into a (you should pardon the expression) cocked hat.

MIDI Hats Make Beautiful Music

Designed by Sunny Oh and Anna Obikane, the hat is made from wool felt and embedded with steel wool to create pressure sensors.

The Winter of The Panda Hat

I’m not a celebrity, or baseball fan or planning a trip to China, but I do think the Panda hat is a cool trend and I am going to be watching it, and maybe even trying it myself, this winter.

Khloe Kardashian Loves Faux Leopard

Khloe Kardshian loves her new ” ear hats”….. at least that what she says on her blog where she posted pix of her arrival in the big apple wearing this wonderful faux leopard hat. Fun, fashion- right and warm too.

Designer Hats Literally Made from Roadkill

Scottish designer, James Falkner, brought new meaning to the expression ” fashion roadkill” last spring by exhibiting 36 fur and feather hats that were literally made from roadkill. Falkner, a student at Edinburgh’s Telford College, got the idea after finding a dead bird in the middle of the road.

Naked With Hats At London Fashion Week

Upmarket wig and hat designer, Charlie Le Mindu, created quite a stir recently at London Fashion Week by concentrating on big hats and no clothes. That’s right. Charlie sent his models down the runway wearing nothing but shoes, hats and a pouty face. Now I am a hat fan, but I really found this one a bit over the top.

Carolina Herrera Loves the Gaucho Hat for Spring 2011

Hats Off to Tea Party Fashionistas

This is not about politics. It’s about hats. More specifically it’s about the fashion statement made by the hats worn at events organized by the Tea Party movement all over the United States. Personally, I find the look kind of funny and silly in a down home sort of way. What do you think?

Johnny Weir and His Kentucky Derby Hat

The Kentucky Derby is over. The race has been run. The julips have been drunk and the hats have been worn. This one, shading the head of three time US men’s figure skating champion and Sundance Channel celeb, Johnny Weir, caught my eye. I am loving Johnny’s good-natured, up-front, androgynous style, and the hat is just fabulous.

Panama Hats Don't Come from Panama

Nope- Panama hats come from Ecuador and always have. What’s more, they come from only two places in Ecuador where the micro climate favors the growing of toquilla, the straw from which genuine Panamas are hand woven, as they have been for centuries. So, why, you might ask, is it called a Panama hat?
