Hats

From Bowlers to Bergères, baseball caps to boaters, this is the ultimate guide to hats through history. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples, as well as depictions in art, literature and film, Hughes takes the reader on a fascinating journey from Marie Antoinette's lavish hats, through Marlene Dietrich's beret and the hat habits of kings and queens, to Philip Treacy and Stephen Jones' modern millinery workrooms. Packed with historical insights and playful narratives of rebellious and sinister hats that signal villainy and disguise, this beautifully illustrated book offers the definitive guide to one of the most culturally rich accessories in fashion.
