Synopsis

Tracing headwear from ancient times to the modern era, this chronological survey brings together an exceptional variety of styles, from Egyptian headdresses and plumed turbans to homburgs. Alongside the plates, it includes notes that place hats and headdress in a broader context, with references to period hairstyles, jewellery and cosmetics.

With its emphasis on fashion and costume history, it is designed as a practical point of reference for stylists and designers.
