Vintage Hats & Bonnets (1770-1970):
Identification and Values by Susan Langley
For centuries the hat has reflected the mood of its wearer and the
spirit of its time. Hats are the crowning glory, the pinnacle, the grand
finale of an outfit. Through history, when times were good, a joyous
hat was a triumphant banner - when times were desperate, a brave hat
could raise spirits. Vintage Hats & Bonnets is a time machine that
follows the evolution of fashion from 1770 to 1970. The chapters are
organized by decades and each has an historical overview, fashion
overview, and hat descriptions, including information on materials,
milliners, and designers of the day. Plus there's information on care,
repair, and proper storage of hats. Just a few of the famous designers
portrayed are Fortuny, Pengat, Patou, Olanvin, Paquin, Lelong,
Schiaperelli, and Mary McFadden.
