Tuesday is the Melbourne Cup, Australia’s major horse race. It’s held on the first Tuesday of November every year and from what I can gather is like the Kentucky Derby but on an even larger scale. Talks of hats and fascinators abound everywhere and you can pick up either from everywhere from Target to a custom milliner (or even get a DIY kit). Did I mention that this race literally stops a nation? It’s a public holiday in Melbourne which means no work and no school, because of a horse race. Yes, you did hear me correctly.
While a holiday for a horse race may not ever take hold in New York, the Aussies may unintentionally be on the edge of a fashion trend. As headbands appear in fashion adorned with bows, flowers and tulle, it isn't much of a step to the fascinator…
Is this the next Blair Waldorf trend?
