Reviews
Following in the footsteps of his highly praised Shoes: Fashion and Fantasy ( LJ 5/15/90), McDowell tackles the subject of hats in the same witty, anecdotal manner. Not the typically chronological treatment of fashion history, this book discusses hats in the context of rank, social class and status, occupation, personality, and how fashion changes occurred. From crowns to bowlers, turbans to straw hats, head coverings are treated in their multidimensional forms and meanings. With an emphasis on creativity, 280 illustrations from contemporary and historical sources show the almost limitless possible variations upon basic forms and styles. As the first major book in a decade devoted solely to hats--Madeline Ginsburg's commendable The Hat: Trends and Traditions (Barron's, 1990) is aimed at younger readers--this survey is highly recommended, especially as it includes up-to-date milliners such as Philippe Model, Sybilla, and Carlos Lewis along with the classic Schiaparelli, Dache, and Lanvin.
