Alessandro Michele is bringing haberdashery back.
Among so many other seemingly lost arts. The designer’s fall 2017 runway show was once again an abundant display of his far-flung influences–we mean that as the highest praise. Michele, who refers to collections as a “new story” or “chapter” can seem downright pedantic in the obscurities he digs up. This season one could cite–if one ventured to–entomology, Orientalism, Jane Austen and ACDC as just some of the references this weaver of worlds and garments wrought through his collection. And there are likely other more abstruse inspirations that informed him.

But, although accessories like chainmail, rhinestone glasses, Gucci chest tattoos and manacled clutches were also on full display, this season, his hats seemed the most wearable and wonderful. And we’re not talking the headscarves and headbands–or the hairstyles that looked like helmets–all of which were plenty, too.
From Hardee hats to turbans to balaclavas to chullos, here are some of the toppers that show why Michele’s brand of nostalgia is completely forward-looking–and not just old hat.
