"You've got to take your hats off to London. Our city is a melting pot of creativity right at the forefront of global fashion and design. The cutting edge style and imagination of London's millinery talent is feted worldwide, and is setting the international catwalks alight. I can't think of a better way to celebrate the heritage of British millinery and its contribution to our fair city than by dressing our most noble of statues, including our most heroic son, Nelson in creations dreamt up by our leading visionaries." (Boris Johnson, Mayor of London) As part of the visual spectacular that is Hatwalk, commissioned by the Mayor of London, in partnership with BT, Grazia magazine, the British Fashion Council and the London 2012 Festival, Trafalgar Square's most famous resident, Admiral Lord Nelson, has got a new hat for the first time in 200 years. Other iconic statues in the capital have also been reimagined, adorned with breathtaking, bespoke headwear that celebrates the best of British millinery talent. Hatwalk was curated by Philip Treacy and Stephen Jones. Find out more: http://bit.ly/Hatwalk
