Runway Roundup: Milliner Maestro Philip Treacy returns to LFW With A Little Help From Celebrity Friends

Yesterday marked the return of famed milliner Philip Treacy to LFW after a ten year hiatus. And who better to open the show than celebrity fan Lady Gaga. From the sublime to the ridiculous, we’ve broken down our top five looks.

Rave culture meets couture. We’re loving Treacy’s nod to the 90s.

OMG...is it just me or is the ghost of Michael Jackson touching that models head?

A homage to Treacy’s muse, friend and champion of his work the late, great Isabella Blow.

Circus freak gets a whole new meaning!

This is perhaps the most wearable of all the styles but could you see your auntie Mary wearing it?

Gaga is known for her eclectic ensembles especially when it comes to hats and hair so who better to open Philip Treacy’s LFW show than the lady herself.

And what a show it was. Combining circus tents, Egyptian inspired snakes and a phantom gloved hand, Treacy lived up to his eccentric reputation and provided an array of headgear that was awe inspiring, innovative and in some instances just plain bats!

Several designs paid homage to his late friend, muse and champion of his work Isabella Blow and in a controversial move, Treacy cast only black models including current catwalk queen Jourdan Dunn.

It takes a very brave lady to pull off a Philip Treacy and although his designs are legendary, they’re also pretty pricey so we’re sure we won’t be seeing them at a wedding any time soon.
