Gawker
What Is Up With' is a feature that asks the question posed by lazy stand up comedians everywhere about random New York phenomena. Enjoy.
Hey, quick question: did everyone lose all their money and have to start bartering their possessions for pelts and we missed it? How else to explain these giant furry hats, which look good on absolutely no one and yet are increasingly being worn by absolutely everyone? As a friend of ours put it, "So much warmth for such a little brain." We'd also like to just state for the record that perhaps wearing a huge fur hat is not such a good idea if you're sitting in the front row of a fashion show and you're already eight feet tall to begin with. Just putting that out there. Anyway, Fashionista, the ball is in your court. WHY?
Update: Fashionista responds! Part of the response is sort of like the speech about blue sweaters Meryl Streep gives in The Devil Wears Prada, and the other part of it is like 'because it is fucking cold,' which we suppose is fair.
