Pitt and Frank Sinatra
CHICAGO, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Three showbiz icons and three modern day
performers were chosen as the newest inductees into the Headwear Hall of Fame
today announced The Headwear Association.
Whether singing, acting, dancing or serving as a goodwill ambassador, this
year's inductees literally wear many hats including stylish ones in their
off-screen lives.
The 2010 Headwear Hall of Fame inductees include:
-- Humphrey Bogart
-- Audrey Hepburn
-- Jennifer Lopez
-- Sarah Jessica Parker
-- Brad Pitt
-- Frank Sinatra
Annually, The Headwear Association recognizes the positive influence of famous
hat wearers by choosing six people to be inducted into the Headwear Hall of
Fame. These inductees comprise current day hat wearers as well as early
influencers that have had a positive impact on the evolution of hat wearing
and headwear fashion.
"The Headwear Association chose Bogart, Hepburn and Sinatra to be posthumously
inducted into the Headwear Hall of Fame. We wanted to recognize these
luminaries, who transcend generations, for their positive influence and
hat-wearing image," said David Goldman, president of The Headwear Association.
"We chose Brad Pitt, Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Lopez as current
fashion-forward celebrities that are frequently photographed in their daily
lives wearing fashionable and trend-setting hats."
Members of The Headwear Association nominated more than 50 legendary hat
wearers, living and deceased. Nominees had to wear hats in their personal
lives and not only while portraying a character on television, stage or in a
movie. The Headwear Association board of directors voted and approved the
final six inductees.
Winners will be formally inducted into The Headwear Hall of Fame during The
Headwear Association's annual gala dinner on Thursday, March 18, 2010 at the
Central Park Boathouse in New York City.
The 2009 inaugural Headwear Hall of Fame inductees included Jackie Kennedy,
Johnny Depp, Madonna, Princess Diana, Samuel L. Jackson and Vince Lombardi.
Entering its 102nd year, The Headwear Association (THA) is the oldest
association in the hat trade. The organization's mission today is to promote
hat wearing throughout the world and foster goodwill and fellowship among
those engaged in the headwear industry.
