Philip Treacy’s interviews are usually just as amusing as his hats (wouldn’t it be so ironic if he were boring?), and there’s a nice long Q&A with him in the Guardian today. He discusses the usual suspects like Isabella Blow, Princess Beatrice, and Lady Gaga, who plans to intern for him as soon as her schedule permits. Here are some highlights:

On giving 25 hats to Elizabeth Taylor for free:
I bought it from Sotheby’s — it is my Ferrari.
