project runway recap: hats off to you

andy south * ivy higa

while most of us consider a hat too impractical for everyday, you have to admire the posh brits and stateside belles who love a playful chapeau when attending a royal wedding or opening day at the races. last night, project runway welcomed london milliner philip treacy who bestowed his fanciful constructions with a challenge to design an outfit to complement his couture toppers.

our hawaii designers both offered up ladylike pairings - a vibrant satin skirted set for lunching socialites by andy south and a demure gossamer duo inspired by a lovely parisienne . . . and the privacy curtains spotted by ivy higa during her unexpected trip to the er that opened the episode.
