The only thing I can say it that if Lisbeth didn't wear it, it ain't FASHION!

Looks like a hat with a funnel on it to me.

An early attempt at the establishment of the NORAD system - all citizens were expected to take part in detecting the Russkis flying over the North Pole to drop their bombs on the freedom loving nations of the northern hemisphere.

I like the personalized NORAD radar set, but still typical prude British fashion. I must say that the mini-skirt was about the only fashion success they had.
