This season we have seen what is in my opinion the most eclectic collections in a long time. There is an good amount of accessory use this season. The dresses in Anna Sui F/W 09 collection were straight out of a fairy tale, which brings us to another element that I would like to shed some light on. The ready to wear collections are looking more like couture collections every season. They are getting very imaginative and elaborate, this is a good thing because now you get a sense of something more than couture, you get a feeling of wearable/ functional couture. I say that keeping in mind that the majority of the couture dresses aren't functional pieces and are just designed for the show. However the focus of the show wasn't on the dresses, the head pieces were the stars of this show; sometimes literally. Head pieces included stars, moons, tiara's and hats with bows and long feathers. I feel strongly about these head pieces because I think that they will really be infused into women's everyday wardrobe. Anna Sui said it in this show and most of you might not have gotten the message so let me put it to you in a sense that is impossible to miss;
HATS ARE BACK!
Hats off to you Ms. Sui.
