Milliner, and yours truly narrated the show. There were a variety of hats from different decades such as wool berets, pork pie hats, and one of my favorites was the cartwheel hat. The 1947 New Look by Christian Dior was another style shown. Models wore mink hats and the less expensive fur such as muskrat, which was known as \u201cHudson Seal.\u201d Cat Frasier modeled a triangle-shaped felt hat with an original Marston taffeta dress from the 1950s.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15561\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15561\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15561 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sandiegodowntownnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2.-Flower-Hat.jpg\" alt=\"\u2018Hats Off to Marston\u2019s\u2019\" width=\"600\" height=\"435\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/435;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15561\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Model shows off a vintage flower hat from Marston\u2019s in the rose garden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After the fashion show, there was a trunk show with accessories from Lea Goldman.
