Day runway show set them all talking about the huge hats, lavish use of

fur.

is definitely a good thing….. just one more sign that hats are back in a
big way.

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.

To know her was to either love or hate her. Nobody was lukewarm about
Bella. She was a passionate feminist, anti-war protestor, liberal.
leftie New Yorker who served in Congress in the ‘70’s, spoke loudly and
often, and always always wore a hat.
