The 41st annual Frederick Law Olmsted Awards luncheon — aka, the hat luncheon — brought a sea of color to Central Park.
“We just opened a store in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where I live 65 percent of the time now, so this is part of our Lela Rose Ranch collection,” said Rose, showing off her quilted toile de jouy skirt and sheer gingham top; she finished the look with a tall Western hat with a dramatically swooped brim by Esenshel designer Rodney Patterson. “He does all of these fabulous proportions and I just love what he does, so I was like, I’m just going with the whole cowgirl theme.
“What I’m wearing is all upcycling,” Yu said of his colorful pom-pom ensemble. “I wanted to make something to show my creativity, and also to support a good charity and raise awareness of so much wastage in fashion and fast fashion.” “She has like 60 hats, so every year I go over to her house, and I try them all on and I try to figure out what I can build an outfit around,” Wentworth said. “I wore a big hat last year, so I wanted to wear a fascinator. And then Mariska borrowed a hat from [Jacob] as well. She dressed us.”
“I walk six miles a day with my dog every morning in Central Park. I walk with my bestie Mariska everyday in the park, and I think the city would not be the same if it did not have Central Park,” Wentworth added. “So I’m a big believer in supporting it, and they figured out a very fun way to do it — you know, I don’t need to pick up trash or plant anything.”
