More Mad Hatters: When Treacy met Moritz

Following Elle's review of Bates Hats, my madhatter's tea party, and our general obsession with hats, I thought I would do a brief post on Hatspiration (bad coinage, I know).

My mad hat exposure reached a new height when I started working designer-engineer Moritz Waldemeyer when I was 18 (see here) ... look at me in this Chalayan hat...


Recently, during LFW, the mad hattage went beyond a joke. When LED lighting maestro Moritz met milliner Philip Treacy, a luminous helicopter hat was the only logical conclusion.

And that wasn't the only trick up Treacy's sleeve...

 My personal favourite (aside from the heli-hat)...

If I do another madhatter's tea party, I know what I want for my birthday, ahem ahem...

Meanwhile, for a spot of (just) affordable mad hattery, how about this Paul Smith ladies' bowler.
