Hats can be stylish and outlandish, formal and conservative; they
can denote status and authority or simply offer protection against
the elements; they can hide the wearer or draw full attention to
them. Hats have been part of our social and cultural history for as
far back as we have records, and have appeared throughout the
centuries in many different forms, styles and materials. Filled to
the brim with illustrations, artworks, photographs and designs, The
Hat Book reveals the fascinating history of the humble hat, from
the very first tomb-painting of a straw hat to nineteenth century
bonnets with ribbons, flowers and bows; from the social etiquette
of top hats and bowler hats to the haute couture fashion statements
of Philip Treacy and Isabella Blow.
