"La femme à la capeline: A timeless symbol of elegance and mystery. The capeline, a wide-brimmed hat, has graced the heads of women throughout history, leaving an indelible mark on fashion. In the bustling city streets or at a serene garden party, the capeline stands out as a statement piece. Its presence fills the void left by an empty seat, commanding attention with its graceful silhouette. The Vocabulaire Illustre captures the essence of this headwear marvelously. From engravings depicting hoods and haubes to Terebenev's exquisite artwork showcasing a helmet worn by Life Guards Cavalry Regiment in 1764-1796, we are reminded of its versatility. Even in 1912, when Garden Party Dresses were all the rage, it was not complete without a capeline adorning a woman's head. This accessory transcends time and trends; it is eternally chic. Les Artes Au Moyen Age takes us back to medieval times when helmets took various forms - from post-Renaissance capelines to visored helmets adorned with intricate decorations. Each design tells a story of bravery and style. Pierre-Auguste Renoir immortalizes women wearing their beloved capelines in his paintings repeatedly. Their allure captured forever on canvas - feminine grace personified through these simple yet striking hats. Whether military or dress attire from different eras like the 15th century or 1860s costumes for women and boys alike – one thing remains constant: The captivating charm of the capeline. "
