Easter fashion parade…
Wacky bonnets as life imitates art
New Yorkers are never ones to lay their creative getups aside and Fifth Avenue’s Easter Parade fashion is a far kookier cry than Judy Garland and Fred Astaire could have imagined- Stylething from Focus On Style
On the Avenue,Fifth Avenue
The photographers will snap us…
–Easter Parade lyrics by Irving Berlin

Who thought that wacky costumes are reserved for Halloween?
New Yorkers are never ones to lay their creative getups aside too long and Fifth Avenue’s Easter Parade fashion is a far kookier cry than Judy Garland and Fred Astaire could have imagined.

Art imitates life and life imitates art as trusted fashion sense is thrown aside and madcap millinery takes center stage. Eagerly posing along the perambulating fashion parade are some of the more inventive headgear this side of a Vegas stage.
Personal favorites are the homage headdress to Christo and Jean-Claude‘s The Gates installation in Central Park and King Henry VIII with his tie-dyed poodle.
