Song said there's nothing quite like seeing one of his feathered razzle-dazzle creations.

"You'd go into a room with ladies in facinators and you just can't avoid them," he told WWJ Newsradio 950's Kathryn Larson. "It's there and you're just forced to recognize that it's there. I think that's just so great."

Song has designed for everyone from the British Royals -- to the Queen of Soul - Aretha Franklin.

He said he'll be watching -- hoping to see some of his fascinators on TV.

But if you want one, ladies, be prepared to pay. Song's hats typically range in price from $700 to several thousand dollars.
