When I think about fashion I think about trends and latest tendencies in the industry that produces clothes for us. I don’t think about Jean Paul Gaultier. This happens because I cannot associate this amazing designer with trends, something that all designers try to stick to. Gaultier is not like others. He is special and this makes him so valuable for us. He creates things that no one can create. His designs are different.
In this post I’m going to show you the hats Jean Paul Gaultier designed for Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011 fashion season, hats that you can hardly find in any other range, hats that single out the wearer.
When I look at this diverse range I see so many styles. I find Russian ushanka-hats, headscarves, turbans, berets and even American Indian huge headwear I always admired when I was a child.
Majority of Jean Paul Gaultier’s hats are bright and funky, some are very stylish and there are those that look eccentric, I would even say crazy.
Although at first sight Jean Paul Gaultier’s eccentric hats look almost unwearable I do think that most of them will look great on girls outdoors. But these girls must be also very creative to make up the look with such an unusual hat.

Eccentric fashionista and a super-popular singer Lady Gaga wants to learn how to make hats. To achieve this goal Gaga has approached a well-known hat designer Philip Treacy to take her as an intern so she could get acquainted with all the details of hat-making.
Treacy’s representative said:
Lady Gaga has requested an internship. But Philip will have to check her sewing skills first.”
Although Treacy hasn’t given his answer yet we think this internship will be beneficial for him as well. Lady GaGa is the person whose outfits and accessories cause hot discussions and every designer wants this fame.
Lady GaGa actually followed in the footsteps of Kanye West who applied for internships to Louis Vuitton and few other fashion houses last year.

We all know the power of accessories. And if the ones are strong and vibrant they can change the whole look of yours.
Kenzo collection of accessories for winter 2010 is a very special one. It includes unusual handbags made of fur, suede and leather, embellished with sequins and adorned with clips and rivents. The technique of patchwork is used beautifully too. The colors are bright and very fresh and youthful.
Belts come in ordinary designs but there are some eccentric ones as well. I just love those with fur on buckles!
Shoes are nice but seem to be too dangerous to walk in. The platforms are huge and don’t look steady enough. The fur trimming looks chic.
Hats are very warm and stylish, but you can’t wear them with your classic coat, of course.

Hats are nice and are often necessary to wear. But I’m sure few women really know how to choose a perfect hat to match their outfit. Though this is very important because a hat as well as any other accessory can make you look great or terrible.
There are a few things you need to do when you want to select the right hat.
Take your time
Actually few women like wearing hats in everyday life. As a result, when they really need to don one, they are up a stump. Don’t feel afraid. Choosing the style, color and shape that’s right for you and your outfit, isn’t difficult if you know how, but it takes time.
Think of a large department store that offers a good selection of hats. When you are there try on every single style. Look at yourself from every angle to make sure you look good from each side.
Opt for the right color
Hat color is significant as it can make you look sensational and knock several years off your age or do quite an opposite thing.
Don’t try to match the hat to your entire outfit. As long as the color complements one of the shades in the attire or your accessories, it will look beautifully.

Elizabeth Taylor is reported to have ordered 28 hats from the same designer, Philip Treacy. Such a huge order was made because the Hollywood legend was impressed with Philip’s quick response to her fashion query.
Treacy says:
Her assistant called me up asking for hair pin and I sent her a message back asking if she wanted a hat to go with it. It turns out that she did – she wanted lots of them!”
Taylor met the royal milliner at a London hotel. While he tried to pick flattering hats for her to wear, the 81-year-old screen star entertained him with her songs and cocktails.
Treacy revealed:
We spent two evenings at her suite at The Dorchester hotel fitting them, looking in the mirror. She even sang a song for us and ordered us cocktails. She doesn’t need an excuse to buy that many, she invented celebrity extravagance.”
Treacy hats are very popular and Mrs Taylor isn’t the only celebrity to have requested one recently. Among other hat lovers we can mention Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, and Princess Eugenie, who both wore the creations by the exclusive designer at the Ascot horse races this week.

The British like celebrating the Ladies’ Day in a special way giving women a great chance to show their imagination and wear the most extravagant, outlandish and downright add hats.
This year was not an exception and as you can see by the pictures the hats were more than just unusual.
Let’s start from Princess Eugenie’s green hat. I just don’t understand why she had chosen this one for wear. It really looks like “a giant garden pea” perched on the front of the girl’s head. And the hat doesn’t go well to the whole attire. A strange option…
Princess Beatrice wore a subtle monochrome hat trimmed with one long feather. The hat looked elegant but absolutely invisible next to her sister’s garish creation. Princess Anne looked sophisticated wearing a simple lace-trimmed hat.
Penny Lancaster, a 38 year-old model, picked a simple wide-brimmed purple hat that looked great together with her apparel. Model Erin O’Connor was very classy wearing a nice black hat.

The economic downturn has affected all spheres of our life already and fashion industry is not an exception.
Now we will speak about hat trends and you will see that hats which are in style are too democratic and slipshod. I wonder if designers wished to create styles showing people don’t care much the whole planet is in trouble.
Well, generally if you feel you don’t want to purchase something new for the season just wear your classic fedora hat, a cap or a kerchief – all those which have been with us for a while. But what you have to forget is a beret, put it deeper into your closet for better times.
Let’s turn to trends at last. Hat Trends for Spring-Summer 2009!
Panama hat
Panama hat is a new thing for us and we don’t know exactly how to wear it yet. It looks great but you should wear it with chic as if you are wearing an elegant wide-brimmed hat. Otherwise you run the risk of looking a bit silly.
Panama hats are charming and they remind me of the 60s and the 70s. This hat style goes well with trenches, sporty windbreakers, denim clothes, cashmere cardigans, etc.
Fedoras in men style
As we have already mentioned this spring we see fedora hats again and now they are more in men style.
This item of our wardrobe makes us look confident and modern.
