Bowled over

You may remember Cameron Richardson from her classic role in last year's Alvin and the Chipmunks. Or like us, you may prefer to think of her like this, sporting a traditional bowler hat (the eternal emblem of sassy chic) at L.A. Fashion Week.
Also known as the derby hat, the bowler was originally designed by London hatters James and George Lock of Mr. Lock of St. James Street (established 1676) as an alternative to the top hat. You can still order bowlers on their website.
Since then, the hat has been adopted by several icons of our time—Charlie Chaplin, Hercule Poirot, Winston Churchill and Duckie in "Pretty in Pink. And let's not forget those friendly fellows from "A Clockwork Orange".
More recently, we've seen more and more young style avatars make like Magritte, including Sienna Miller, Keira Knightly (in those Coco Mademoiselle ads) and of course, the lovely Cameron Richardson.
I always knew those Bolivian street vendor ladies were on to something.
