Before leaving London, I went to one last presentation. Milliner Nasir Mazhar put on quite a show at the St. Barnabas house in Soho.
We were allowed to enter the chapel in groups of fifteen. There were no lights, just hundreds of candles, a singing monk, and a handful of almost naked people in really obscure hats.
The monk got to move (as you can see in my really awful sideways video, so sorry), but the models stood as still as statues. I heard mentions of “DaVinci Code,” “pagan sex ritual,” and “but I can’t see the hats!”
But really, no one was looking at the hats.
