The Mystery of The Cloche Hat

There are many theories on how the Cloche Hat came aboutduring the 1920s. I believe there are a myriad of factors thatbrought this ephemeral hat to life. A similar type hat was introduced into Parisian Society during the early part of the20th Century by a designer called Paul Poiret. His fascinationwith Asian and Eastern Cultures lead him to create turbantype hats for women to wear with evening dresses. This led to a craze for close �tting hats. Most women during this time 1900 -1920 wore the boater or big brimmed picture hats. However, more and more women were starting to wear his turbans during the day in their regular attire too. Then there is the Coco Chanel connection to this hat. She is rumored to be the creator but it’s more likely she made it chic. Coco started out her career by trimming already made hats and then she hired technical milliners to create for her. Coco was heavly in�uenced by the horsey set world and men’s riding attire. The Riding Hat worn by men at the time was taken up by her and this was similar to the helmet cloche but with a brim. However, it was a famous Parisian Milliner, Caroline Reboux who created hats in the 19th century for Royalty and the Lux Classthat is most credited with being the creator of the cloche. She was around before Paul Poiret or Coco Chanel and was strictlya milliner/hatmaker. She set hat trends the world over for mostof the 19th and 20th Centuries. The hat was a symbol of women’s emancipation from the past;therefore, the big hats went away. It was masculine in style but createdfor the new modern �apper. So it was melange of events andlife that led to the creation of this ever chic, classic and popularwomen’s hat.

Caroline RebouxThe Legendary French Milliner

During the 19th Century Paris was giving birth to it’s new look and modern Haute Couture. Charles Frederick Worth is credited with being the father of modern Haute Couture. Up to this point guildmembers created womens dresses and milliners (originally someone who sold trims, hats, and accessories) added the original wit and�air. Charles Frederick Worth came up with the idea of creating a new style each season and women would pick from these styles.During this same time a little girl in the Parisian poorer neighborhoodswas creating beautiful unique head creations. Her name wasCaroline Reboux. Just as Charles Frederick Worth was discovered bythe Empress Eugenie of France, Caroline Reboux’s stars aligned to gether seen by the Queen too.

Her beginnings were meager as that of Coco Chanel and so manyfamous designers throughout history. She �rst began her career byselling her hats to wholesalers during the 19th century. During thistime she was discovered by the Comtesse Pourtales and Princess Metternich who had the eye of the Empress of France. Empress Eugeniewas devoted to Worth and now to Reboux. Then in 1870 with herbusiness established she opened her �rst shop on the famousRue de la Paix.

She has been credited with coming up with the Cloche Hat (Bell Shaped)during the early part of the 20th Century. It has been said that she hand blocked them right onto the wearers head. This hat style did not become popular until the 1920s

Reboux’s in�uence carried on even after her death in 1927. Suzanne Talbot and Lilly Dache famous 20th Century Milliners were trained in her studio. Reboux helped to establish Millinery as it’s own industry where as before it was part of trims and mantles. She paved the way for modern millinery. She truly did crown the heads of European Royalty and her style is still being carried on in millinery today.

Faux Fur

During the Cold Weather Days of Fall and Winter the lux lookof the right Faux Fur Accessory can add warmth and style.Some designers are going back to using real fur but we preferto stick with Faux. There are many pieces of fashion that havefaux fur trim: shoes, coats, dresses and much more. But weare focusing on the accessories: scarves, wraps, collars, stoles,hats and etc. The faux fur of today has such a realness to itwe believe it gives the right lux to a look. FauxFur - sure!

Thanksgiving

It’s the time of year when Americans gather together to celebrateThanksgiving. It marks the time when the new settlers to the old newworld colony came together with the native tribes and shared a huge feast. The day when there was harmony in the Newly established country. The native tribes shared their traditions of howto raise food in this new territory with the settlers from England. It’s a time of year that means alot to those of us who are NativeAmerican. It signi�es how Native Tribes were not waring people butfamilies that grew crops and celebrated with feasts. Now in the moderntimes Americans utilize this day to watch the Macy’s ThanksgivingDay parade which o�cially ushers in Christmas and the Holidays. It is a time of great food and laughter around a kind and bountifultable. As we all set down to partake in the big meal let’s all sharewhat we are thankful for in this year.
