In the movie, there was a scene Andrea keeps wandering on the street, and wearing a hat (by Chanel) . She is thinking whether to take the offer from Miranda, her boss, the chief of fashion Magazine. The invitation from Miranda is Andrea would be her assistant for the fashion week in Paris, while this will break the dream of Emily, another assistant, who was the first candidate of this job and she is eager for the trip.

  In the movie, Andrea did not answer directly, but the decision was made before destiny, or perhaps the hat!?

"French fashion icon Coco Chanel (1883-1971) went from being a struggling hat maker to being one of the fashion world's most recognizable names. Over the years, Chanel's simple, comfortable designs began to change the way 20th-century women dressed, freeing them of the stiff, uncomfortable trends of the past. Today, the empire that Coco built produces some of the most successful and coveted fashion items, headed by designer Karl Lagerfeld." (data source)

I have a very similar style of hat which bought from the Aran islands, Galway, during my stay in Ireland 2004-2005.

The hat was of wool material and handmade. At first beginning, it was a gift for my father; while he rejected to accept the gift for thinking the style is for old men.
He is right, and also wrong about this point, since the men of the Aran islands, Ireland (different from the Scottish isle of Arran) really keep their culture traditional as original since the beginning.

Ragús - Green Grow The Rushes

Quote from Youtube: Fergal O'Murchú, accordianist and singer of Ragús, a group of musicians and dancers from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland performing traditional Irish music, sings "Green Grow the Rushes" in this wonderful piano version. The word ragús is an Irish Gaelic word for 'desire' or 'urge'.

Ongoing process of the works, in X-Power Gallery,
