'Ever since the first bunny-eared model stepped onto the
Louis Vuitton Fall catwalk, and after
Madonna donned them at the MET Gala people have been wondering, why the bunny ears? Well, Marc Jacobs
has finally explained himself. In the making of the 2009 Fall/Winter ad campaign video, he said: "There's a girl who works for us, Lucy, she's on the design team, and Adrian, one of the boys, was tying a little bit of fabric around and it reminded me of bunny. We were thinking of all these different things like can-can dancers, and I saw this piece of fabric wrapped around Lucy's head and said, 'Bunny ears, that's what we need to finish this look.' So we made all these radzimir bunny ears and that's how it happened. I like the kind of Playboy, French coquette aspect to it." Apparently they made 30 to 40 colors before choosing the right one for
Madonna's Fall ad. The bunny ears have been explained . . . we can all breathe now.'

Now we are seeing the humble headband is in comeback mode for
2010; but don't go reaching for your girl-next-door Alice band just yet. This is a specific micro-trend that marries the sexiness of a vintage playboy bunny with the elegance of high fashion. Read on for more on the trend and how to wear it.
How to wear it
Do: go for tousled bedhair, a simple up-do, or 60's sex-kitten voluminous locks; be fashion-forwards, daring, and confident; have fun with it.
Don't: spoil it by wearing cheap costume props. The appeal is in the luxury. This doesn't necessarily mean spending bucketloads, just choosing quality materials and well-crafted accessories.
Do: wear it for a night out, day at the races, and any fun or frivolous activity. A big set of bunny ears is probably not so great for the office.
Don't: wear it with outfits that are too cutesy or girly; it's a fine balance between smoldering sexiness and girly innocence that makes this trend so workable.
Who's designing it
Louis Vuitton, as mentioned above, have garnered plenty of attention with their take. But before Marc Jacobs got rabbity for LV, Maison Michel had lace bunny and cat ear headbands in his Fall 2009 collection. There were also bow hats on Moschino Cheap & Chic's Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2009 runway that were reminiscent of Mickey-Mouse ears.
