| IF YOU LOVE HATS
YOU’RE NOT ALONE - THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
CONTINUES TO HAIL HEADWEAR AS THE PASSPORT TO
HIP
The enthusiasm and praise of headwear continues
on designer runways and the streets of Santa Monica
(celebrities). I am amazed at the fervor with
which this trend seems to be gathering momentum.
Right now, it’s more rhetoric than reality
for the average consumer, but eventually they’ll
get on board (hopefully).
If you look down the average street and stage
a hat watch, you might not see much in
the way of heads covered with hats. But the truth
is – eventually everyone will be buying
and wearing hats. Just this week The New York
Post wrote an article called “Hats
Amore” that hailed the hat as the item to
covet. Of course Eugenia Kim had her say (she
seems to have the media charmed) and there were
pictures of a few trendy hat styles. If I were
you – hat makers – I would contact
the New York Post fashion editor and
see if you can send samples for their next fashion
story.
If you want to see what The New York Post
had to say, read on.

NEW YORK POST
October 1, 2007 -- THE key accessory this fall?
One word: Hats. And before you say “I’m
just not a hat person,” know this: “Anyone
who’s anyone will have a hat,” says
hip milliner Eugenia Kim. Though there are some
trendy shapes to keep in mind, this fall “anything
goes.” Check out these next few pages of
headwear for every face shape, head size and era.
