The Mayor of London has partnered with BT, Grazia, the British Fashion Council and the London 2012 Festival for HATWALK, an event launched on Monday that sees 20 well known statues including Admiral Lord Nelson, Shakespeare and Winston Churchill showcasing millinery talent from both established and emerging designers.

Curated by British milliners Stephen Jones and Philip Treacy, the project ends with an auction of the featured hats, with proceeds going towards the Mayor's Fund.
