1950。This is a beautiful cocktail hat from the fashionable 1950\"s.The structure this heat is built from is flexible, and curls up into a circle. When open, it accommodates multiple head sizes. The top is covered in Brown, White and Rust colored rooster feathers with a forward direction, which creates a \"bangs\" effect. At one side there is a larger circle of feathers that resembles a flower. The inside is covered in a brown fabric. Simply stunning!
Daytime hats were de rigueur for women in the 1930s, except for more formal late afternoon events (art openings, cocktail parties, tea dances etc.) when a daytime hat just did not work with a cocktail dress. When Hollywood costume designers Elsa Schiaparelli and Mr. John paired a new, smaller hat with cocktail dresses in several movies, women of fashion around the world eagerly followed suit. Cocktail hats reached the height of their popularity during the 1950s.
There is no designer label, indicating it was a custom-made creation.

This hat is in wonderful vintage condition & has been lovingly preserved among over 1300 vintage hats we have collected for 40+ years.
