It's not about being wearable or practical, but vision. The whole exhibit reminds me that in America we've changed the meaning of "couture" and fashion, and many think that things mass created are couture and "fashion" when in fact, they are not. It's refreshing to see so much creativity and passion in one place. I like seeing designers that think about the body and attitude rather than what's trending. I smiled when I saw this.

What a shame it was wasted in a head piece. Although fashion is supposed to be over done and edgy this statement really doesn't go through to me. Thanks Much!!

I love the idea that whatever you are thinking about is shown in the hat that you wear. . . This is a funny idea. Visible thoughts! Fantasy, other-worldliness and eccentricity are shown here to the highest degree. Loves it! This Chinese Garden hat is exquisite in its intricate design.

It is the intricatness of a carved bone sculpture and the elegance of a detailed headdress that have come together to form this delightful headpiece. I would love to see more of these in runway shows and on the streets of today's world This headdress took my breath away.

I'm not completely sure. It looks more like something I would see at a japanese botanical garden. I wouldn't like to wear it, but it is cool and creative. Are you sure this is a hat?

I'd love it as a centerpiece or for the mantel. But in answer to the person above, it was only meant to be worn on the head for the fashion shows or as a "statement." I don't think anyone would wear it to the mall. Wow, not really a headdress, but a beautiful sculpture. I’d love it as a centerpiece or for the mantel.
