Nasir Mazhar’s one of those little treasures we wish we could keep for ourselves.
The milliner’s extravagant headgear has been on our radar since well before he designed for Madonna’s Dazed and Confused tour or built Agy’s infamous reindeer hat. The hairdresser turned hatter, one of the coolest things come out of London since a young Alexander McQueen, should stay on this side of the pond.
But, sigh, the dreaded Hollywood claws sunk in yesterday thanks to Lady Gaga’s appearance on Ellen. She wore one of Mazhar’s orbital hats, which (though we loved it) might’ve resembled our grade school retainer.
Now, it’s only a matter of time until he sweeps the red carpet and we can say, “Remember when?”
