[2012] Balenciaga. Visor Hat. This hat with exaggerated, downward-sloping brim that Cristóbal Balenciaga introduced in 1967 as a part of his silk single seam wedding gown (left) made it’s comeback at the latest Balenciaga’s Spring/Summer collection (right). And I have to admit that ever since my inner Darth Vader first saw it on the catwalk, he’s been secretly saving money to possess the black version of the hat once it’s out.
