Star Straw

>> I cannot, for the life of me find pics of models wearing these S/S 11 straw hats by Nasir Mazhar who sprung a guerilla show at the Topshop venue in September.  Sitting sadly on a shelf, unfortunately these hats look a little sad and not that exciting but I promise you on living, breathing and possibly growling rude girls from Dalston, they inverted every notion and cliche associated with a 'pretty' straw hat…

I can't say I'd invoke the same spirit with my feeble half-n-half, passive aggressive self but I do really want one even if the contrast would be slightly lost on me…

Some other pics from the presentation and his hut space at the New Gen area that add some context to my poor pics to support my straw lovin'…

  8. I would like to either a)make a straw hat of my own or b)find out where I can buy one from the collection. This reminds me of my family in the South. Straw hats are always out in the summer.

  9. It’s so appealing that you have an eye for the uncommon. These hats are so different than what’s out there. I really appreciate what you do! Trying to do something in the same vein….so I entered the Sunglass Hut’s Full TIme Fabulous contest (an apartment in NY for a year, travel to all fashion weeks and report on the trends and really such a dreaaaam!). I just need votes! Would you help? http://www.fulltimefabulous.com/video/view.aspx?vid=UxMt3WCoJQg x Thank you x
