THE MYSTERY OF A HAT
Last night while I was watching "So You Think You Can Dance", I was sketching some new faces for more French ladies. I was inspired by one of the judges on the panel of this dance show that had on an incredible hat that looked oh so French and so chic. I was mesmerized by her and how the hat gave her an interesting edge. Did I think her opinions carried a little more weight? I knew nothing of her background but I think her hat gave her a sense of authority.Manon is one of my favorite ladies I have designed. I love to change the clothing she wears and in the photo above, I put her in a Marc Jacob's suit from his spring/summer collection. The hat always stays the same and seems to fit whatever she wears. But Manon without the hat is just a redhead. And there is something about a veil. Oh, to be able to wear a veil.
This is Isabelle. I first designed her as a tribute to women who have been through chemotherapy and want to wear a hat. She is the most popular tote I paint and she is bought by all women. I love her hat as well and the colors are always determined by the earrings I have found for her. Her hat, which gives her a sophisticated look and coupled with the earrings, sets off her eyes. Hats always take the attention to the woman's eyes. When a person has on a great hat, don't you want to look a little deeper into her eyes? Your curiosity makes you want to know more about this person. I think men are more intrigued by women with hats. I think we all are.
Hats also give you an attitude. Or do you have to have attitude to wear a hat? I always love hats that are set at an angle and allow the wearer to peek out from underneath. Doesn't a hat allow the wearer to observe the world without being so obvious? A hat lends a veil of mystery.

Take a look at Johnny Depp in his new movie where he portrays a gangster. Now, Johnny Depp looks good anytime but in this movie, he looks delicious and it's all because of his fedora. A hat changes the way you behave.
So, in the next couple of weeks, I will be coming out with some new women who wear wonderful hats. And you might even see a new design based on the wonderful hat I saw on the judge of "So You Think You Can Dance." Can't wait to see the show tonight to see if she has another wonderful addition to her attire. I bet she does. She's a woman with attitude.
