| LADIES DAY AT
THE ROYAL ASCOT HORSE RACE WAS A HAT AFFAIR
 They
came, they conquered and they wore great hats
– at the Royal Ascot. Racing events in England
are a time when what you wear on top of your head
is more important than what is in your head. American
women may look upon headwear as something to hide
in the closet, but British women see it as something
to show off (similar to the way US women show
off their breast implants).
Just last week the five-day event brought out
the likes of Ivana Trump, Sophie, Countess of
Wessex, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and Queen
Elizabeth II. The Royal Ascot, known as Britain’s
most famous racing event, attracted over 500,000
people.
Six-year-old Yeats won the Gold Cup (he’s
a horse) and the runner-up was Geordieland.
Even though the race was won by speed, we think
that the real winner was headwear (and the ladies
who know how to wear them). It’s time the
headwear industry started a hat competition or
got in sync with a sporting event in the US that
champions hats as an accoutrement to outdoor lifestyles.
The Bridgehampton horse show in Long Island,
New York is one potential place to show-off hats
as a fashion “must have.” How about
someone contacting them and outfitting celebrities
and horse-lovers with headwear?
Just a thought folks, just a thought.
