More than a fashion guide, this detailed and authoritative reference
compendium focuses on collectible designer hats from 1950-80 and is
very highly recommended for both fashion collections in art libraries
and collector's reference libraries with its fine survey of the
hairstyles, hats and history behind them. The millinery glossary pairs
well with period photos of the hats in use and the fine color photos
throughout, making for an excellent collection of images, price guides
and history perfect for either art or collector's references.
