I was more than excited to see that the fashion industry is still embracing the “almighty hat” and that hats are now more popular than ever.

Hats galore were seen up and down the runway by many designers during the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week which was held in New York September 5 – 12, 2008.

Thanks to Designers like Marc Jacobs, Nicole Miller & Michael Kors to name a few….hats are not only be functional, but can be a major accessory to any outfit.

Whether you are sporting a Fedora, Beret or Slouchy Cap… go ahead and reach for this Seasons popular “finishing touch”.
