Haute Couture Tricorne Hats Are HAPPENING, Baby

Y'all, the Dread Pirate Roberts passed out in the treasure chest again.

Seriously, though, the theme of this show? Pirates. Some designers throw so many words at their inspirations that I appreciate the simplicity of, "Pirates." Although that's not exactly all that was said; Zuhair Murad told WWD, "Pirates stand for freedom, confidence and bravery." That's one way to describe marauding. I also have a concern that the lighting in this show made all the models look jaundiced. Wait a minute... are they all supposed to have scurvy?!? THAT is adherence to a theme, right there.
