Hat : origins, language, style / Drake Stutesman.
In this illustrated celebration of the hat, Stutesman uncovers the influence on our lives of this versatile headgear. Beginning in the Ice Age, the story of the hat is traced through its links with the origins of abstract thinking, through the complex evolution of the professions of millinery and hatting starting in the Middle Ages, through the rise of the superstar milliner in the twentieth century, and, finally, through the work of the ingenious hat makers of today who continue to dazzle us with their creations. For all those interested in the history of fashion and the history of culture--and couture--Hat offers new perspectives on this stylish, practical, and important accessory. --From publisher description.
