Philip Treacy, the Guru of story-telling head-pieces, has worked hard before reaching stardom, cultivating thoroughly his innate tendency to charm others with the unexpected. His long trip from a humble village in Ireland to the royal court and the red carpet, is marked by his love for exquisite fashion above one’s shoulders. What usually happens to accessorize an impressive Haute Couture look was regarded to be a personality statement for each one of the attendees at the royal wedding. It’s the first time Treacy, intentionally or not, manages to approach the masses worldwide. Men and women with complete ignorance of the subject of fashion felt his extraordinary creations’ magnitude watching most of them for hours live on TV or through online streaming! It was all about the hats. Nobody really focused on the rest of the outfits. Treacy directed at this wedding the most memorable show of his well-established career so far, urging everyone to skip the dresses and go for the head-dresses, an amalgam of extraterrestrial head-pieces and matching hairstyles. The result was magical-a mix of history and fairytale, ideal for its unique royal setting!
