Although not technically made up of Halloween hats, the spring/summer 2015 collection of Benoit Missolin is inspired by witches and other creepy imagery. Unfortunately for those with enough money to splurge on one or more of these 'Halloween hats,' the line will only be available in the new year. Pre-orders are being taken now.
By taking this darker turn, the designer's Halloween hats has a little fun with more traditional millinery. A veil becomes a mask with the inclusion of embroidered eyes and a mouth while a pill box hat is adorned with a large spider. Utterly dramatic, the Halloween hats that make up Benoit Missolin's SS15 collection will certainly make a statement. Perhaps a few of them will be spotted at the next Kentucky Derby.
