Norma Shephard
Over 1,240 beautiful museum quality hats reveal the milliner’s
ingenuity from the 1790s to the 1970s. Among the styles displayed
are ascots, bourrelets, bigonnets, chapeaux rouges, nurses’ hats,
Pamelas, pillboxes, toreodors, turbans, and wedding hats. They are
made with materials including felts, furs (real and imitation), and
feathers, and are adorned with beads, flowers, sequins, and much
more! Among the milliners whose hats are shown are John B. Stetson,
Tress & Co., Elsa Schiaparelli, Lilly Daché, Christian Dior,
Laddie Northridge, Frank Olive, and Hattie Carnegie.The
meticulously researched text provides an engaging retrospective of
the millinery business. A precise glossary of terms is very useful
to today’s collectors and researchers. Prices reflecting the hat
market today are in the captions. Vintage clothing collectors,
dealers, historians, milliners, and curators all will find this an
essential and beguiling reference.
