WITH WOMEN'S SPRING FASHIONS RECENTLY RELEASED BY THE FAMOUS HOUSES, NEW LINES IN HAT DESIGNS WERE SHOWN IN LONDON YESTERDAY (WEDNESDAY) - AS A PREVIEW FOR THE CITY'S FAMED "EASTER PARADE".

THE DISPLAY OF HATS WAS ORGANISED BY THE LONDON TOURIST BOARD TO PROMOTE THE "EASTER PARADE" ATTRACTION THAT TAKES PLACE ANNUALLY, ON EASTER SUNDAY. THE CREATIONS WERE BY HAT DESIGN STUDENTS FROM LONDON'S FAMOUS MILLINERY GUILD.

THERE WERE TWO MAIN CLASSES - "MAD HATS", WITH THE ACCENT ON THE HUMOUROUS AND UNUSUAL AND "ELEGANCE", WITH THE LINES AIMED AT GRACE AND HIGH FASHION.
