KU STUDENTS HAVE FASHION ON THE BRAIN
By Sara Bennett Kansan Staff writer
When Wayne Chinander, Lawrence graduate student, wore the black vinyl biker-style hat he bought in Izhmailovsky Park in Moscow on the streets of the former Soviet Union, he found that his fashion statement had unwittingly turned political.

Willsey said the Annie Hall look of crushed, brimmed, unstructured hats is popular with women who prefer wash-and-wear hairstyles. Berets and baseball caps are also bif sellers, she said.

"Hats are our best accessory," she said. "They can change and update an outfit and add important color and texture."
Kandy Hopkins, Eudora sophomore, said hats could be as important as any other fashion item.
"After a while, you find yourself creating outfits around a hat," she said.
Men have bought into the hat craze as well. The most popular style for younger men is
