Callanan legacy hat in family circle

This funky fedora LV208 is perfect for the Goth girl or guy. The side lace detail is so True Blood and it is lined in tartan. Check this Callanan Legacy hat out in the September issue of FAMILY CIRCLE, page 151 as well as the knit Scala radar cap  LK72 with side bling detail (was a big seller at KITSONS last season).

MAD HATTERS ON THE PROWL

The summer of 2010 will definitely go down as the summer of hats but what was Madonna thinking about. WOW, even fashionistas can make faux pas.

FEDORAS ARE SO OVER

I am sick and tired of seeing every Tom, Dick and Harry as well as Jane, Lizzy and Buffy wearing a fedora hat. Please people, there are other styles to wear. I challenge you fashionistas to don a boater or bowler. I was looking quite the dandy on the Fire island beach last weekend in my Scala boater.

Callanan designer profile in accessories the show

Managed to get a mug shot in Accessories magazine's August issue under designer profiles.http://www.busjour.com/ No, I am not naked in the photograph and I am not wearing blue contact lenses. We had a super ATS and increased sales 50% on last year. Maybe it was the fab new booth, or a recovering economy (last year was doom and gloom) or maybe old blue eyes worked his magic. We previewed spring 2011 and the response was very positive.
