This survey on hats explores and illustrates 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 today's designers, including Philip Treacy, Philippe 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.

From ancient Egypt to Ascot, Versailles to the White House lawn, hats have been emblems of style and status, badges of rank and distinction, brilliant signs advertising their wearers. Hatters and milliners from Borsalino to Stephen Jones have competed to produce the definitive headwear, and hats in all shapes and sizes have been raised to heights of sophistication that reflect an unending obsession with this unique adornment. Colin McDowell, doyen of style and author of the acclaimed Shoes: Fashion and Fantasy, makes the definitive statement on hats. He displays the hat as symbol of authority in its many guises; and considers the fabulous skills of the hatmaker and the sometimes bizarre uses to which hats have been put in show business and sport. Glamorous and stylish as they often are, hats are also rich with significance for the societies that create them. This sparkling guide captures a fascinating subject from every angle, to dazzle and delight fashion historians, designers, and anyone with a taste for poise, elegance, and fun.
