Callanan resort hat in Accessories News Flash

Accessories News Flash: "Nov 10, 2010 // ITEM OF THE DAY
Convertible top down, check. Warm breeze hitting your face (which is so conveniently protected by the glamorous hat a top your head), check. Wait a second….convertible top down, and hat on the head? Well, we might be dreaming, but it is possible, thanks to John Callanan Resort’s latest design, where an elegant chiffon scarf is attached to secure the hat, and add an additional bit of glam. Driving around St Bart's has never looked so good…

Callanan hats fall 2011 photo shoot

The weather worked with us yesterday for the fall 2011 photo shoot. Blue skies with a little cloud made Williamsburg look enchanting. Everyone thinks that photo shoots are all fun and games but they are long intense days for all concerned. The official pix will not be ready until next week after KOITZ makes his magic and editing but here are some behind the scenes peeks from my amateur camera.
The photographer KOITZ.
Everyone showed up on time at 1pm. Brian gets into character. Brain is a dancer and successful web designer for a large firm.

KOITZ assistant David had the hardest time making sure there was always the right like on the model. He was so stoic.
My bad pic

and why I use a professional like KOITZ

me and Brian. Yes, I often use my clothes to dress the models. This was about 2.30pm. Erin shows up for some couple pixs before Brien heads home.

The couple pixs are on the beautiful Kent Street in front of the Episcopalian church.

Erin is an aspiring Broadway actress and also models pantyhose.
The temperature seemed to drop 20 degrees in 1 hour. I felt bad for Erin but she was such a professional. No complaining, no shivering, She stayed totally poised for the camera.
We wrapped it up right on time at 5pm. can't wait to see the finished product.

CALLANAN LEGACY FEDORA AT ANTHROPOLOGIE

I love the Anthropologie stores but I just wish they had a guys' department. After ABC Carpet, I think that they have the best visual display team. So I am honored that my "tie-me-up" fedora, style LV192-BLK will be available at Anthropologie in the coming weeks.

The inspiration behind this hat was an act of love. We were in the process of moving apartments 2 years ago, which is a very stressful situation. The straw that broke the camel's back in the packing process, were the 260 silk ties, all in shades of burgundy, that my partner had accumulated. It came down to me or an edited tie selection. Thank the lord that he picked me and I ended up with 60 ties that needed to be donated to charity. Well, the creative genie in me decided that the ties would make great hat trims. Now calm down, I donated money to charity in their place. We have long ago run out of Thierry's silk ties so I search thrift stores to find new ones.
