Philip Treacy Haute Couture - Spring/Summer 2003

Philip Treacy hats are more often than not compared to art. And when he designs an haute couture collection the artistic community turns out in force. In an ode to celebrity fame and infamy, Treacy revolved much of this collection around Andy Warhol imagery and one couldn't help but wonder - just a little bit - if the designer was poking fun at haute couture. This witty, funky show pushed the notion of fashion, art, beauty, and celebrity to new challenging uncharted territory, and reaffirmed that all four can live in fruitful co-existence.
