Hats make statement
Continued from 9A
“In the ‘60s, it was cool to
sport ‘Black Power’-inspired
afro hairdos or the teased
bouffants of girl groups like
the Supremes,” Scott said.
“Hats didn’t fit the new hair
dos...or new attitudes.”
“Our customers really love
hats ” Scott said. “A hat is still
a great way to add the perfect
finishing touch for an outfit.”
The verdict is that hats are
here to stay.
“Oh, on the small side,” Ford
says, “I personally own 20 to
25 hats. You should see my
mom. She has well over that.”
ing to Ford, is head-to-toe
dressing. Suits coordinated
with shoes and purses.
“We designed a suit with
faux Persian on the cuff and
trim,” Ford says. “We coordi
nated it with hats, shoes and
purses. That is what we are
wearing. It is a full ensemble
look.”
Hats she maintains add to
outfits.
“A simple hat can lift an out
fit,” she says. “A plain black
dress can really be lifted from
adding a hat with a little
color.”
Hats did fall briefly out of
favor. During the tumultuous
‘60s, afroed men and women
dismissed hats as symbols of
oppression that disguised
black hairs true beauty.
