Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would have such a strong respect and understanding for the Mad Hatter. As a kid, watching the Alice in Wonderland movies and reading the fantastical books of her underground adventures, I thought the Mad Hatter was just a quacky storybook creep, who happened to have no idea how to colour coordinate his stacks of hats. As fabulous as they were, I could never understand why someone would want to walk around wearing so many hats. Talk about a serious case of indecision. And also...neck cramps...with that many hats there's no way he didn't have back problems.
But regardless, I now understand him. I know why he did it. When there are hats that exist in this world that are so glorious you cannot fathom to choose just one favourite, no wonder he wore them all. You might ask, why am I only now coming to this realization? My answer: Janessa Leone.
The hats created and styled by eponymous label Janessa Leone are the most heavenly creations I think I have ever experienced in my entire life. From her fedoras to her boat hats; her straw hats and wide-brimmed sun visors, there is no head adorning accessory that she cannot do; and do beautifully. I never was an enthusiastic hat lover, not until a few years ago when I began to discover they actually looked good on me. Blame it on my newly mastered hair style or the fact that braces fixed the curvature of my jaw to the point where all hat styles are flattering, but now I can (and want to) wear pretty much any hat I set my sights on. Janessa Leone's masterpieces are at the top of the list, especially those included in the Spring Summer 2016 Collection.
So take a peek below at what I mean, and maybe you too will become a mad hatter just like me ;) but save your pennies, an expansive collection will cost you (when has that ever stopped anyone?).
