With the royal wedding just two days away, I couldn’t resist a post about the fabulous Philip Treacy! Milliner to the royals and stars, his headpieces are breathtaking works of art…I can only imagine how busy he has been preparing for the big day! In an interview with Style.com, he would not reveal who will be wearing his creations but that clients coming to him are accessorizing Chanel Couture, Valentino Couture and Gaultier Couture…safe to say we will be seeing many of his gorgeous hats on Friday…I wonder if the bride herself will be seen in an original Philip Treacy masterpiece? I guess we will just have to wait and see! Enjoy!

wonderful cant wait to see them Fay xx enjoy
Great – I have a notion that his inspiration comes from nature – I see flowers, sea shells, wispy sand dunes! and am reminded of that scene from Breakfast at Tiffany’s – Holly getting ready to visit the Tomato at Sing Sing after changing into her LBD – coming out in that great Black Hat with the white ribbon saying to “Fred Baby” – “How do I look?” jaw dropping gorgeous!
thanks gary! awesome comment! xo, nellie
“A hat is a flag, a shield, a bit of armor, and the badge of femininity. A hat is the difference between wearing clothing and wearing a costume; it’s the difference between being dressed and being dressed up; it’s the difference between looking adequate and looking your best. A hat is to be stylish in, to glow under, to flirt beneath, to make all others seem jealous over, and to make all men feel masculine about. A piece of magic is a hat.” (Martha Sliter)

Danielle,
What fun…the only place we americans don the hat as a bold fashion statement is at the Kentucky Derby. But no one can carry a hat like the quintessential English lady.
