The Queen of England is a fashion icon.
For over 60 years, she has reigned with grace and sophistication, all in impeccable style.
Her brightly color blocked outfits have been a staple at every grand occasion; and no event is complete without the queen donning one of her signature hats.

The English have perfected the art of hat wearing.
Almost the same way we Americans anticipate the glorious gowns that come down the red carpet during awards season,
the hats that punctuate a grand English occassion are as unique and the women that wear them. This season, the runways are loving the hat trend. After all, what is more chic that a really great hat?

Schiaparelli, one of Paris's most iconic designers returns to the runway in full couture glam, hat and all.
Following it's first runway show since, 1954, Schiaparelli's Spring/Summer 2014 line made its debut in Paris Fashion week and feature some very eclectic headpieces, making a bold statement in creative couture headpieces.
And of course, American fashionistas refused to fall behind on the trend.
New York Fashion Week was very in vogue with Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, and Carolina Herrerra, to name a few, all had models wearing so very du jour hats.
For the British, hats have long been part of their rich history.
Worn as parts of their occupation, as with the Royal Guard, as symbols of class demarcation,
and once upon a time, as a requirement of the law, hat culture in Britain is so sartorially prevalent that it has influenced global fashion tremendously.
Hats have always been a part of the UK' social fabric. Stateside, we have a more whimsical approach to hat wearing, especially when it come to the more elaborate and ornate designs.
Simple hats are worn to help achieve a certain look, like the "Teddy Boy" look above.
Hats even have the power to present people in a certain way. Are these women witches or are they having a costume tea?
Elaborately decorated hats make more of an American appearance during Easter celebrations
and in events like the Kentucky Derby.
Local Austin milliner, Milli Starr, creates fantastic hats for every occasion imaginable.
Head milliner and owner, Laura Del Vilaggio
