Highly impractical hats have swept Instagram this summer and these designers have sent their eye popping creations down the catwalk.

During London Fashion Week, a mother of two appeared on the catwalk for designer Marta Jakubowski while using the product.

The cult label behind the highly impractical hat that was splashed across social media sent another big creation down the catwalk a straw beach bag almost as big as the swimsuit clad model toting it.

The problem is that, unlike the rail thin catwalk model who starves herself half to death to stay slim, the image of Russia that Putin seeks to project is completely imaginary. The Russian economy is a shambles, and Russia s mighty military had to exert itself to its fullest to vanquish tiny Georgia in 2008.

MOSCOW Image is everything might be a viable credo if you are the house of Gucci or a catwalk model, but it is definitely not appropriate as a national strategy. Yet Putinism, the ruling ideology of the Russia that Vladimir Putin has forged during his ten years in power, is all about image the image of a reconstituted great power restored to the world stage.
