The High Hat for Women - Skyscraper Confections and Width Giving Place to Height - New Creations for Beauty's Adornment
EDITORS COMMENTS
(1911) In this collection of photographs, women proudly display their latest fashion statements, adorned with high, elaborate hats that tower above their heads. The hats, reminiscent of skyscrapers, are adorned with an array of feathers, tassels, and bows, making them true confections for the eyes. The early 1910s marked a significant shift in women's fashion, with the Edwardian era giving way to the 20th century. These new creations for beauty's adornment were a testament to the era's love for extravagance and opulence. The hats were not just accessories but symbols of wealth and status. The women in these photographs exude confidence and elegance, their faces framed by the towering hats. The intricate designs and attention to detail are a feast for the eyes, showcasing the artistry of millinery during this period. The feathers, often imported from exotic locations, added a touch of the exotic, while the tassels and bows added a playful, feminine touch. These high hats were a stark contrast to the more modest styles of the previous era. Width was giving way to height, and the result was a fashion statement that was both bold and beautiful. The photographs capture the essence of this transformative period in women's fashion, making them a fascinating glimpse into the past. The 1910s were a decade of change, and these photographs serve as a reminder of the role that fashion played in shaping the times. The high hats were more than just accessories; they were symbols of the spirit of the times, a reflection of the confidence and boldness of the women who wore them. These photographs are a testament to the enduring allure of fashion and the power of self-expression.
