    If I could pick ANY celebrity to wear this hat, I would pick Helen Mirren.  Her nod to casual fashion, her attitude on ageing, her fight for better roles and jobs for women in Hollywood, and being a norm-defying badass.  I bet she would love this hat even more if she knew it was from a thrift shop / up-cycled dress! I picture a cool autumn or winter day in London where she has to go out.  Her casual chic outfit in subdued denim and a textured jacket, her favorite leather boots.  Toss on this gossamer and with grace and elegance, she is out the door.  Warm and glamourous.

    I don't know about you, but given today's social isolation precautions, I am finding moments of joy in the small activities in my house.  While felting in my kitchen I typically stream dance music, and find myself singing and dancing to some great tunes.  Nothing gets me happier than a view, the sun, good music and felt making.  This hat is a kitchen sink style cloche, which while sensible and covers your ears, also conveys moments of joy!  The piece has several different silks all colliding on one hat, a style of hat I've termed "The Kitchen Sink". In the 1920's there was an actress Gilda Gray who popularized the "shimmy" dance.  I believe she would have worn this hat fabulously.  Combined with her beauty, European exoticism and willingness to shake her stuff on stage, Gilda was seen as unconventional, slightly dangerous, and emblematic of a new generation ready to party.
