...full of glee when I saw the purse hats," says Jessica Morgan, New York magazine fashion writer and Gofugyourself.com blogger, recalling Mizrahi's Fall 2009 New York Fashion Week show (held, naturally, in February). "Of course, if you wore it in real life, you'd look like a crazy person trying to shield herself from alien brain waves." Mizrahi wasn't the only designer to favor impractical headgear that season. That same week, designer Narciso Rodriguez sent one model down the runway in a cow-print-camouflage outfit accessorized with a bucket over her head. British Vogue described the ensemble...
