The Story Behind Pharrell's Grammy Hat—and Where You Can Buy It

Then there was Queen Bey's visible reaction to the headgear:

So here are the deets on the hat. It has serious fashion pedigree!

The hat is by Vivienne Westwood and was made especially for the designer's boutique, originally dubbed Worlds End boutique (the shop was formerly known as [sic] Let It Rock, Sex, Seditionaries and Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die). It was famously established in 1971, by Westwood and Malcolm McClaren, manager of the Sex Pistols. The shop was a place that showcased the ideas and designs of the infamous punk group. In 1980 the name was changed to Worlds End.

The look of the store is "urban guerilla" as defined by Westwood. It's an emporium for rebels— with clothes that sporting political slogans and clothing that makes a statement.

The hat, which is available for sale for £95 or $157.46, at current exchange rates, here.

The chapeau—which has various names including the Buffalo Hat, Jelly Mould Hat, and Mountain Hat—was first shown in Westwood's Nostalgia of Mud Collection, also known as the Buffalo Collection in fall 1982.

So now that you know the whole story, what do you think of the hat? I'd totally wear it during Fashion Week!
