In my almost 20 years in New York I never went to the Easter Bonnet Parade, but I always imagined what I'd wear. I no longer live there, and regret not having gone but I can still use my imagination to dream up a perfect Easter Bonnet. The first thing that comes to mind with "Imagination" and "Hats" is Philip Treacy. He has brought the term fascinator into the mainstream and has been an inspiration for the new interest in hats. Maybe next year I'll have a post of my own tricked-out Easter Bonnets....
I love me some orchids. Why not have a giant one on my head?
Being followed by a swarm of butterflies...
The Swarm gets a little more contained.
Carry Bradshaw style.
...So you don't have to decide on just one hat.
Nice color blocking and verticality. I love the colors with the red lipstick.
Again, the color...
And finally, no color, just pure style.
Which ones should I draw inspiration from?
