Irish milliner Philip Treacy, whose hats are loved by Daphne Guinness and Sarah Jessica Parker, is back from his 12-year runway hiatus — and it was well worth the wait. Lady Gaga, one of the designer's most vocal champions, emceed his show earlier this week, as an all-black cast of models dressed in Michael Jackson's tour costumes paraded down the catwalk under the weight of Treacy's outrageous toppers. Highlights included feathered headdresses with three-foot wingspans, metallic sunburst latticework crowns, and a ship hat — no, head sculpture — at full mast.
