Straw on the street.
Move over Mary Poppins! You may think it was this nanny who started the straw hat trend, but if you took your medicine correctly, you would know it was none other than fashion legend Coco Chanel! For those of you who watched the recent Coco Chanel Lifetime film, you saw hundreds of hat designs, many of them straw hats. Let’s be honest, who else did we expect to craft such dramatic fashion accessories from barnyard food?
This coming Spring season, straw hats are making a comeback! First seen during New York Fashion Week by Marc Jacobs and Charles Anastase, straw hats add a bit of mystery and sex appeal to the innocent girl in the sundress. Dramatically tip the straw hat to the side and we’re in business! For now, keep that head warm with a nice wool beret or a fitted cloche, but come Spring 2009…slap on the straw!
Thanks for the photos STYLE and Facehunter!
