Fall 2012 Accessories: Hats

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Grandpa Sweater
Even though this fall collection used a very muted color palette it made me feel warm. I liked how Olivier Theyskens mixed comfort with sophistication. Theyskens' Theory can easily go from lounging around to attending a luncheon downtown.

Jockey Chic
Ohne Titel, formed by Flora Gill and Alexa Adams in 2006, had a lot of stripes in their recent collection. The color blocked leggings seem to be quite a trend this season, but my favorite part is the hat! It reminds me of a jockey helmet, but much chicer.

When Star Collide
Known for her effortless elegance, Carolina Herrera's line was that of the modern, yet classic woman. Herrera added wild prints to these timeless to give them a bit of a facelift. The looped belt shown on nearly every piece gave the garments a little extra flare.

White Out
This simple white gown was the tamest of all Chris Benz's pieces this season. Against the gold backdrop, the reds and greens really popped. And even though most would question the holiday connotations brought on by combining the two colors, it actually turned out pretty fabulous.

Painting the Roses
Bibhu Mohaparta had his first ready-to-wear line in February of 2009. Since then, he has incorporated vibrant colors into every one of his lines. This collection is no exception with the fiery reds, deep blues and loud greens.

Top Five 2/11/12

Don't Bogart Me
Ruffian's chief designers Brian Wolk and Claude Morias are bringing the fedora back with a Casablanca-esque collection this season. The two have suddenly turned the ultra-masculine into the ultra-feminine.

Prom Queen
After winning Project Runway, Christian Siriano has become one of the shows most successful designers with ready-to-wear lines in boutiques all across the country and a shoe collection for Payless. This season he has channeled his inner goth with deep red and black colored garments and little black lipstick.

Bondage
Known for their slender silhouettes that are inspired by the "bandage dress", Hervé Léger by Max Azria adorned each of their models with her own leather "corset." They also featured geometric patterns and gladiator-like strapped boots.

Modern Explorer
Mara Hoffman started off with her Circle line in 2000 that featured hand dyed pieces influenced by African art. She has continued to feature intricate and amazing patterns in all of her lines. She too is bringing back the hat this season.

Extraterrestrial
Prabal Gurung has taken us to a galaxy far, far away this season with a wide range of out of this world garments. The show starts out dark and angular and then morphs into lighter colors with curvier lines. The collection is all over the place and absolutely fantastic.
