ch fans have a new chic alternative to those tired old logo bucket hats. Milliner Eugenia Kim has collaborated with the brand on a quirky, brightly hued collection of hats that hits stores Monday. Kim's namesake line, a favorite with celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna, has a whimsical, almost cartoonish look (in a good way).
For Coach, she's done cloche hats, equestrian caps and argyle fedoras with details that pop, such as lime green patent bands and multicolored striped scarf ties. Of course, there are a few Coach touches as well, such as the signature turn-lock closure on the brim of a Tattersall plaid driving cap.
Eugenia Kim for Coach Collection, $128 to $298. Available at Coach stores. www.coach.com
