Fifty Hats That Changed the World – Book Review
From Amazon.com: Book Description Published April 2011 “Fifty Hats That Changed the World lists the top 50 hats and headwear that have made a substantial impact in the world of fashion and design today. From Monomakh’s Cap, an early fifteenth century Russian crown to Franc Fernandez’s modern-day 2010 Helmet Headpiece, the book explores the designs that have turned heads over the years and the impact they’ve had on the fashion and design world. About the Author: The Design Museum’s mission is to celebrate, entertain, and inform. It is the world’s leading museum devoted to contemporary design in every form from furniture to graphics, and architecture to industrial design. It is working to place design at the centre of contemporary culture. It demonstrates both the richness of the creativity to be found in all forms of design, and its importance. Design is a hugely fertile field of inventive new work, as well as a key component underpinning the modern economy. It provides a means for understanding the contemporary world, and, potentially, for making it a better place.” The small hardback book also includes pages on the cloche, pillbox hat, Victorian bonnet, Philip Treacy and Stephan Jones. A great addition to any collection on fashion.

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens Hat Luncheon February 2013 in Miami
Vizcaya, a beautiful historic estate in Miami, was built in the 1910′s, a decade in which Gilded Age cultural standards were enlivened by the irreverent spirit of the Jazz Age. It introduces visitors to Miami’s place in this history — a time when America’s wealthiest industrialists created lavish homes inspired by the palaces of Europe.
The Vizcaya preservation league held the 5th annual hat luncheon to raise funds for the museum and gardens. Spectaulor hats in a wonderful waterfront location. Check out the colorful photos of the museum and special event at the sites below.
