THSA DINNER AT THE BOAT HOUSE NYC
The annual traveling Hat Salesman's association THSA, celebrated its 105th anniversary dinner at the Boat House in New York's Central Park on Thursday. The weather was glorious and the facetiae was bursting to put on a show of dazzling yellow for the crowd as they sipped cocktails while lingering in the last rays of the evening sun. A fun time was had by all. The ladies from the milliner’s guild attended this year which added a certain je ne sais quoi to the event. Mr. Baik from Korea was awarded the life time achievement award and announced a $100,000 sponsorship for young milliners.
I was suitable attired in a navy jacket with red/blue trim from top shop, cream pant from Stone Island, ridded white shirt from WE Paris and patent tip shoes from Hugo Boss and of course donning a panama boater from Scala.
