FIT’s Queen of Hats

Inspired by the royal wedding – HT Insider asked FIT’s own super-fabulous Queen of Hats, Prof. Elaine Stone in FMM, “Had the royals extended an invitation would you have been prepared or have needed to go shopping?” (Of course we knew the answer!)

Move over Victoria, Beatrice, and Eugenie – Elaine who has rarely been seen without a hat in her many years at FIT – just needs to go to the closet. Here are not 1 but 5 chapeau, which would have been outstanding even in that crowd at Westminster Abbey on April 29th.

  1. Great pictures of Elaine! FMM has it’s own Royalty that fits right in with the London crowd.

  2. My son is almost 3 and LOVES to play dress up with hats. We got him this set one day when we were looking for a cool police man hat and (alas) could not find one. These hats have been a big hit! But I have a safety issue… the two helmets with the face shield are a bit of a hazard. The shield is not very sturdy, and the shields are easily pulled down lower than they should go, creating a gap between the top of the shield and the helmet. My son loves to look over the top, and sometimes he pretends the face shield is the chinstrap for a football helmet. Funny, until he gets stuck. Funny, until he pinches himself with it. I removed the shields and now everything is fine.
