Is the fashion industry finally becoming more practical, more conscious of what we need in daily life? Take this creation from a fashion week in India: it’s a hat that gives you easy access to all those important bits of paper you always seem to lose.
Shopping lists, directions, ransom notes, tax returns, Dead Sea scrolls, secret passwords, love letters, recipes…. Who knows? Maybe even a note reminding yourself not to be so easily victimized by the fashion industry!
Anyway, if this chapeau proves popular, the next step is obviously a metal version to accommodate refrigerator magnets. If you can think of other handy uses, please send them via Post a Comment.
