Chapeau is the biggest hats and accessories professional exhibition in Russia and one of the top in Europe. It's actually a lot of fun because I adore hats, both regular and super quirky. I half way and to go to hippodrome to have a reason to buy the beauties. I am also very happy they are no longer twinned with Fur exhibition because I don't really feel like supporting real fur.
The opening day was fantastic! There were many shows and many hats to enjoy. I love the way many hat designers paired with basic clothing brands to bring the best of it. I personally find the ballet dancers the most creative for the purpose. Only one brand with lots of kids clothes (it's called KGB and they did played around the most terrifying for any post-USSR person abbreviation which is also the abbreviation you get if you use the first letter of names of the designers and the first letter of their surname).
There also was a legacy show of Slava Zaitsev. He is a maestro of Russian Fashion, one of the first people tried to push the style in USSR instead of unification. It is practically impossible to deny his influence over the modern day Russian fashion.
I also wore local designers that day. I chose one of my personal favorite skirts of all: it's from Maria Braslavskaya brand Labyrinth. I normally style it with white top of sort but that day I wanted to make something different. I like the way round-ish pattern of the skirt plays around with polka dots. I am still a bit cautious with my leg after a small trauma last week so I wore comfortable flats. The bag was needed t easily fit the camera inside.

What a fun show. I like the ones on the first two pictures the best - however, it takes courage to wear the black one...
ReplyDeleteI love the plain white hat. It looks simple but elegant. I would love to watch a live fashion show like this someday. It looks amazing.

I almost forgot that dressy hats existed. I've not dressed up to go anywhere in such a long time that it is starting to get worrying. Thanks Rona.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful collection! Classy and fun. Kind of reminds me of Dior in their early days.
ReplyDeleteHats are so fun. They remind me somehow of royalty or broadway (depending on the looks).
ReplyDeleteI love a good hat! They can be so much fun to wear. This is definitely a fashion show I would attend! I love the plain white hat, along with several others. But I think that one is still a favorite, just because it is so quietly and simply elegant.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, there are several different styles. Some of them I really liked and a few were....... well, nothing I would ever wear. However, as they say "variety is the spice of life".
ReplyDeleteI think it's one of powers of fashion: you learn to enjoy looking at it as you would on art, it is not necessary to view it simply as something you would or would not want to wear
DeleteWhat a wonderful fashion show! I love wearing hats. White is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Chapeau before, their collection is so beautiful wow!!! I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been fun to see so many different hats
ReplyDeleteWow! I love hats and this is fashion show is exciting to witness. So far, the one stars has so much character. I love it.
