I love this so much, and particularly love the hippo in the swimming cap (with fingers).
@Ophelia I am also in love with the hippo in the swimming cap (with fingers).
That is a party I would RSVP to.
@Anne These would also be wicked sick party invitations.
This is madness. Delightful, whimsical madness.
Is this supposed to remind me how we're all beautiful without silly hats? Or how awesome silly hats are? No, I think it's just to bring some gentle absurdity to my day. Which is very welcome.
The toucan in YSL is my favorite.
colorblock morbidity = awesomeness. wasn't there a pirate of the caribbean who had that hat in gray?
AH YES! This restores my hope in humanity after reading all of the depressing "Amusing things my asshole SO said to me" comments. Bless you!
This is my kind of crazy. I cannot pick a favorite.
@RocketSurgeon me too, I just love them all
This is amazing. I'm worried that the Hairpin can't possibly have paid you enough for this.
You know the iguana is just dying to eat that fly. Just one more day of fashion week, you little reptilian bombshell, you can do it!
"Yarn, scissors, and leaves" is the best.
Also, these remind me a bit (in a nice way!) of these: http://www.etsy.com/shop/berkleyillustration
Just when I thought polar bears couldn't get more awesome, along comes one in a phenomenal military utensil hat I would happily wear on a daily basis.
That hippo is really channeling Billy Gibbons.
FINALLY!!! I never know what to call those hats! USHANKA! I have also heard deerstalker?
Also the only reason this is not the greatest illustrated feature in Hairpin history is because you also gave us the Secrets of Anna Wintour post, which will reside in my heart til the end of my days.
These. Are. AHMAZING. Seriously, I want that dog with the shoe hat. If I hunted … ohhhh if I hunted. (yeah cuz that is likely)
Hey, Lisa Hanawalt, I have just one question for you: why are you so great?
oh my god "color block morbidity bonnet"!!!!!
I want a slowly rotting ushanka
Oh my holy shit lol.
