The Fashion Statement: Will 2011 be the Year of the Hat?

Hats worn for the express purpose of style hasn't been widely popular since the '20s. Millinery did have a brief comeback in the '80s when Princess Diana gave visibility to the British tradition of wearing hats for special occasions. Now Kate Middleton is again putting a modern face under the British topper. And numerous designers on both sides of the pond made the hat a central focus of their spring/summer runway collections. And then there is Lady Gaga entertaining us all with her theatrical chapeaus.

Not since the '80s have we seen so many hats! So we wonder: Could 2011 be the year of the hat?

Arguably the most buzzed about accessory of the season was the colorful, wide-brimmed hat like the one above at Prada. Badgley Mischka and Marc Jacobs channeled Jodi Foster in Taxi Driver with their bright pink versions shown over hair that had been appropriately curled and frizzed. Sally Field in The Flying Nun would have fit right in at Missoni where almost every model wore hats that flapped down the runway like wings. And Alberta Ferretti went boho by pairing floppy fringed brims with her collection of gauzy ethereal gowns.

Just Cavalli Fashion Show Canceled

Filed under: Apparel

The economy just might be getting to Roberto Cavalli. He convened a press conference in Milan, Italy to cancel the show for his secondary line Just Cavalli, a press conference that the Guardian referred to as a temper tantrum. The Just Cavalli line is controlled by IT Holdings, a company which sought bankruptcy protection from its creditors Thursday.

Roberto Cavalli expressed his displeasure at not being able to have the show. He seemed very frustrated by the fact that the company was making 240 million euros in annual turnover over a year ago but was now in trouble. He stated that he felt very emotionally attached to the line. IT Holding owns several other Italian labels including Gianfranco Ferré, C'N'C Costume National and Versace Sport. Just Cavalli was a sexier line aimed at younger women and featured Kate Moss in one of its advertising campaigns. The main line Roberto Cavalli will show at the end of the week. Check out the designs from the last Just Cavalli show in the gallery below.

Filed under: Handbags

The Croc-Trimmed Weekender by Just Cavalli is timeless with woven canvas, croc-embossed leather trim, and a roomy shape with sturdy design features like thick rolled leather handles and straps that go all the way around the bag. Other features include protective metal feet, a front flap with magnetic closure, and a little dose of fun in the form of an iridescent snake-print lining. Neutral but hardly bland, this bag would be great for both a weekend getaway or just for running your regular everyday errands around town. 16" x 9.5" x 6", $890.

Just Cavalli Metallic Nylon Backpack, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Backpacks are so handy but it can be really hard to find one that doesn't look too "schoolish." This Metallic Nylon Backpack by Just Cavalli fits the bill for me, though, with its casual floppy nature combined with a healthy dose of trendy metallic style and "flash" appeal. Strikes me as a great bag for the girl who likes to wear stiletto heels with her blue jeans. Made of woven nylon with snakeskin- printed leather trim, it has pockets galore (obviously, it is a backpack after all), a snakeskin-printed textile lining, and a magnetic closure at the top. $750

Just Cavalli Croc-Embossed Wedge

Filed under: Shoes

My favorite designer Roberto Cavalli brings you the must have shoes for spring! At $625, these fierce platforms from his more affordable line Just Cavalli are the perfect addition to your shoe collection. An impressively high 6.5" heel (platform+heel) gives you legs for d-a-y-s and makes any sundress that much sunnier. A padded canvas insole means you won't leave these sitting in your closet like other amazing but uncomfortable shoes. I keep my Cavallis in frequent rotation because they never leave me limping no matter how long my day was. The best part about these Italian beauties is their rear view factor: the Cavalli logo scrawled on a shiny gold metal plate down the length of the heel!
