Snob Hats

Designer Easter Bonnets

— March 20, 2008 — Luxury
Wear one of these creations to church Easter Sunday and you better be prepared to drop a big bill in the collection plate. Or if fashion is your calling, then you better be prepared to drop a big bill to buy one of these chapeaus. If hats are your cult, you are on your own, or call your local Scientologist.

Implications - Like most 80s-inspired items, over-sized hats are doing quite well in the fashion world. Items like this exemplify a preference for big, bold items reflecting fashion from the 80s. Perhaps it's a combination of a passion for all things retro combined with a desire for individuality and eccentricity that has both designers and consumers falling in love all over again.
Trend Themes
1. Oversized Hat Fashion - There is room for disruptive innovation in the production of oversized hats that can push the boundaries of eccentricity, individuality, and retro style.
2. Designer Easter Bonnets - There is room for disruptive innovation in the design of bonnets that can embody luxury, exclusivity, and reverence during Easter Sunday.
3. 80s-inspired Fashion - There is room for disruptive innovation in fashion that can creatively revive and blend the unique styles of the 80s with modern aesthetics and functionality.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - The fashion industry can explore new markets and collaborations to tap into the growing demand for retro, eccentric, and oversized fashion items.
2. Luxury Goods Industry - The luxury goods industry can seize the opportunity to cater to consumers' desire for high-end and exclusive fashion accessories like designer Easter bonnets.
3. Religious Goods Industry - The religious goods industry can partner with fashion designers to enhance the appeal of church traditions and rituals through elegant and fashionable items like snob hats.
