Today we admire the hats of designer Elsa Schiaparelli, a name best known for eccentric surrealist fashions today, but well known in the thirties for chic and modern clothing. Born in Italy, Schiaparelli eventually settled in Paris after spending time in New York. A friend of Paul Poiret and rival of Chanel, Schiaparelli started designing fashions with a line of knitwear in 1927. Her clients soon included heiress Daisy Fellows, actress Mae West, and semi-royal Wallis Simpson. Though she rose to the heights of fashion royalty in the 30's, Schiaparelli never recovered after the changes in fashion after WWII, closing her couture house in 1954. Though best known for collaborating with surrealists like Salvador Dali, I personally favor her more wearable designs, like the beautiful hats below! Summer 1940 Fall 1939 This hat! Swoon! I love the large ivory Irises paired with the transparent black netting! Fall 1939 Gorgeous simplicity in ivory and rusty brown. Fall 1939 Fun silk flowers, flowers upon flowers! Summer 1935 Such a great raspberry color, wear at a jaunty angle for instant 30's chic panache. Summer 1940 A hat I have tried to replicate! I attempted making a similar piece in the second round of my millinery course I took while studying in London, sadly I never finished the hat, having trouble stabilizing the brim. I'll show you guys the attempt someday :) Summer 1940 This hat is to die for! I love the natural looking flowers and leaves. Fall 1939 I will be making a berry-tastic hat like this one for fall, I just love it! Summer 1940 1938 Isn't this last one fun? It reminds me of Blade Runner, pay attention during to the extras in the film and you will see some of them wear very similar hats.

Hello from Renee Ryan. I’m closing in on the end of my book, only a few more weeks to go. I’m having fun dressing my 1890s heroine. However, as I think about what her life will be like after she gets her own happy-ever-after, I keep wondering what she’ll look like, what clothes she’ll wear. ... Read more

Hats were still worn daily by women in the ‘50s. They could be very large, or very little, and were held on the head using elastic linings and long hat pins. They were made from straw, wool felt or satin for evening, and were often decorated with feathers, beads, ribbons, flowers and nylon netting. They were worn in a variety of colors to match every outfit. Hats added the final touch of 1950s glamour to a woman or girl's outfit, particularly in the early 1950s. Here are some beautiful black and white shots of 1950s hat styles taken by photographer Philippe Pottier.

The hat's halcyon days are past, but a lid can signify fun, madness, belonging and rank.
