Bonnet Bash 2023: Back to the Future

What does the future hold? Time-travel with the Fashion Committee to the National Arts Club’s annual showcase for all things hats. Discover visionary headwear in a one-night-only installation created by designer Penny Chu, behold the hereafter in a dynamic environment by Sarah Sparkles, and revisit your youth to the music of Erik Rydju, while enjoying specially themed cocktails and futuristic performances.

Dress for the times and envision your own headwear for a chance to win the “Marinetti” (most futuristic), “Lloyd Dunn” (most retro-futuristic), or “Marty McFly” (most 1980s) award.

Milliner and artist Penny Chu of CHU CHU NY creates sculptural headwear beyond the conventional concept of a hat. Her pieces have adorned public figures like Billy Porter, Broadway Producer Jordan Roth, and Designer Alexander Wang. Designer Sarah Sparkles is the owner of Sparkledome Studio Crystal Fine Art, Props & Accessories. DJ Erik Rydju spins and curates for Armani, DKNY, J. Crew, and Christie’s.
