HATS
Hats
by Colin McDowell
Paperback -224 pages New Edition (14 April, 1997) Thames and Hudson;
ISBN: 0500279446
Review:
This survey on hats explores and illustrated every aspect of the
subject. It catalogues the myriad styles from royal crowns to
Rasta caps and includes chapters on the etiquette of hats and
the development of protective headgear. It recounts the achievements
both of the great milliners of old, such as Caroline Reboux, Paulette,
Lilly Dache, Schiaparelli and Borsalino and todays designers including
Philip Treacy, Phillipe Model and Olivier Chanan. The text argues
that, whilst they can be both glamorous and stylish, hats are
also rich with significance for the societies which create them.

The
Century of Hats
by Susie Hopkins
Hardcover - 160 pages (16 November 1999) Aurum Press; ISBN: 1854106627
Review:
This spectacularly illustrated book is both a history and celebration
of the headgear of the past 100 years. It covers both sexes and
includes not only the work of the great designers - from Jean
Patou and Coco Channel in the 1920 to Philip Treacy and Patricia
Underwood today; but also the mass produced hats which were worn
daily by ordinary men and women. The changing social function
and status of the hat is examined, from the bonnets and top hats
of the Edwardian era, through turbans and cloches of the jazz
age and the utilitarian wartime years, right up to the l990's
when no teenager could face life without a baseball cap. Illustrated
in colour.
