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.

London Vs. NYC: Explain

What credit crunch? London’s a hotbed of fashion retail growth. This past week, Rick Owens and Marc by Marc Jacobs opened doors on South Audley street in Mayfair.
