July 21, 2008 10:20 am
In keeping with the city’s DNA, Berlin fashion week was short on frivolity and folly and focused on realistic street style instead. But designers were still eager to top off their collections with decorative flourishes, most often with whimsical hats. Dirk Schönberger’s jeans collection for Joop! included the usual fetish fabrics such as latex and vinyl, as well as an unexpected series of massive plastic caps and visors reminiscent of Anish Kapoor’s sculptures. Susanne Wiebe completed her ladylike line with Ascot-worthy creations made from twisted tulle. Models at Basso & Brooke carried enormous cloudlike concoctions down the catwalk, while Sisi Wasabi, the designer of Zerlina von dem Bussche, sent models down the runway with elegantly exaggerated fezzes crowned with single curling feathers. All in all, we’d say Berlin designers didn’t let the more serious elements of their fledgling fashion week go entirely to their heads.

I love the idea!!! I think that hats should come back into everyday wear. It once was that women never didn’t wear hats and was the desired accessory. Now, as the mainstream woman is regaining the long-lost femininity hats should be apart of her wardrobe.
