Fashion News: Goorin hats, ‘Grey’ ties, Strawberry Shortcake
Hat lovers, take note: San Francisco-based Goorin Bros. is throwing a grand-opening celebration for its newest L.A.-area headwear boutique in Studio City on Feb. 12. We’re told there will be raffles, food and musical entertainment for all and Ben Goorin (CEO and great-grandson of founder Cassel Goorin) will be on hand as well. An added bonus? The first 25 customers will receive floral crowns to accessorize their headgear. Goorin Bros. Studio City Hat Shop, 12192 Ventura Blvd., Los Angeles, Feb. 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. [Goorin]

Times.
