Hats Off!

I have to think I may eventually be doing a "Hats Off, Part II" since researching hats and all things millinery seems potentially infinite. I so enjoyed putting together this post that I had to force myself to stop for fear I'd segue into a fashion glossary rather than a compilation of photographs.

Norman Parkinson (whose photographs of Philip Treacy's millinery and haute couture became a collaboration and art unto itself).
