Description
Hats: A History of Style and Significance This beautifully illustrated guide explores the complex cultures behind hats through history. From lavish fashion to experimental millinery, Hats delves into the codes that govern our behaviour and the occasions when it's appropriate to wear one. Clair Hughes examines both historical and contemporary styles, as well as their depictions in art, literature and film, with sharp insights and playful narratives. The book covers a range of topics, including power and disguise, and features head-turning designs from world-famous horse races, royal family members, literary mad hatters, and French high-fashion millinery. Hats is the first title in the Elements of Dress Series, edited by Susan Vincent. With its unique blend of history, art, literature and fashion, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the significance of hats throughout history.
