Gearing up for spring 2010...

Fashion Week has come and gone, I am just getting out the winter coats, and here it is already time to think about the colors that will anchor the 2010 Jackie's Hat Box Collection.


Taking my inspiration from the Spring 2010 Pantone color offerings, I plan to continue using a lot of tone-on-tone colors to keep things rich and timeless, while also working in some classic contrasting combinations for those gals who want to have a little fun with their hats.


Here are the anchor colors for the Spring Collection, just to get you mad about millinery, too!


















Next up will be more visuals from the 2010 Jackie's Hat Box Collection. Enjoy!
