Hats off to vintage

I wish I lived in an era where beautiful hats were part of a women’s daily wardrobe. Unfortunatly, fashion hats are a rarity now outside of horse races and Southern churches. Still, I can’t help but wonder what life would have been like to walk down 5th ave donning a nice pill box…without looking like I was on my way to a theme party.
I love this image of a classic Givenchy hat, photographed by Frank Horvat in 1957.

Although it’s hard to mess with a classic, here’s Anya Caliendo (couture milliner) take on the original for Novemember’s issue of International Vogue.

Here’s a shot of my favorite Christmas gift this year: a collection of antique jewelry packaged in a vintage Saks hat box.
