EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the fashionable world of the early 1960s with this selection of high hats, each boasting elegant and distinctive designs. The top left image showcases an original Tyrolean hat, a popular choice among fashion-conscious individuals, readily available at major department stores for a reasonable price. This classic hat features a high crown and a narrow brim, reminiscent of the Alpine region from which it takes its name. Moving to the right, we encounter two designs by the renowned French fashion designer, Pierre Cardin. The top right hat is a chic high hat in the shape of a Grecian helmet, crafted from black cire plaited straw. Its sleek and sophisticated design adds an air of elegance and sophistication to any outfit. The bottom right hat is another Cardin creation, inspired by the Tyrolean line, made from coarse plaited cire straw in a dark tan and trimmed with broad petersham ribbon of the same color. Lastly, the center image showcases a hard little straw top knot hat by Christian Dior. This hat, while challenging to wear, exudes an undeniable allure. To wear it, one must have their hair close to the head and styled in a light chignon at the back. This hat, with its unique design and timeless appeal, is a testament to the innovative and daring spirit of the 1960s fashion scene.
