Philip Treacy take his hat off to Vienna

With the exhibition „All that glitter is gold“ the famous hats of the Irishman Philip Treacy can be seen at Swarovski (Kärntner Straße 24) for a total of one year. His homage to Empress Elisabeth: a theatrical veil hat. It recalled that Sisi was always veiled after the suicide of her son. He loves this type of glamorous suffering. „In Vienna the death is very glamorous.“ But Treacy himself never wears a hat: „Karl Lagerfeld also doesn’t wear women’s clothes.“
