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.	Buy it today!
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.
