Hats for Marc Jacobs A/W '07-8

It's an oft-repeated fact that the Internet has really screwed up the fashion calendar. But figure in the 'live fashion broadcast' phenomenon and then things really start to get confusing. Yesterday I went to the press preview at the -very handsome- new Marc Jacobs store on Mount Street in London's Mayfair, where I saw this collection of wonderful hats for Autumn. Soft woollen tops; wide and firm felted brims. ...But wait, didn't we see Agyness wearing one in our film shoot on Friday?

You've good to feel for the poor PRs: how they must despise fashion websites for cutting in on their exclusivity. With the celebrity stylists hand-couriering dresses straight from the catwalks to the red-carpet ceremonies and most showpieces not even making it to the press day rails because they are being photographed earlier and earlier in the season, one wonders how long the press day can continue in its present form.
