StyleCrush Food for Thought

Music mogul Pharell Williams created quite the buzz at this year's Grammy Awards with his unusual choice of attire.



While many questioned his Smokey the Bear-esque choice of style it seems Pharrell and "that" hat have seemly set a trend on the catwalk. Gareth Pugh debuted their Fall collection where one look in particular reminded us of the singer-rapper.


Do you think this look will catch on?
