I must admit, I have a strange fascination with top hats. Does that make me some sort of weirdo? Don't answer that. Anyway, I love top hats because they're so dramatic, and characters (real or faux) who wear them always stand out from the pack. Where would Slash be without his top hat? Or Mr. Peanut? Or Abe Lincoln? They'd be a bunch of sad looking sacks.
Top hats are definitely enjoying their moment in the spotlight. They should totally write Johnny Depp a thank you card. T.H.'s even made it into the Hermes and Dior Fall 2010 collections. They're going places baby!
Although I'm a proud owner of a gorgeous top hat, I could never bring myself to wear it in public...except on Halloween of course. Luckily, some lovely little top hat products are popping up that anyone can enjoy...without looking as mad as a hatter.
