Today's Milliner Monday pick is a short one. Where has the day gone!? I promise more coverage on this wonderful milliner in future posts. I was lucky enough to come across a wonderful post featuring an Elsa Schiaparelli hat (check out Iggy. Frankie&Cab).
“In difficult times fashion is always outrageous.”- Elsa Schiaparelli
Elsa Schiaparelli was an Italian fashion designer prominent between the World Wars. Heavily influenced by the Surrealists, she collaborated with Salvador Dali and Alberto Giacometti.
In her Fall/Winter Collection 1937-38 Elsa created the famous “shoe hat”. In the shape of a woman's high heel, the hat was worn by many stylish women including Gala Dali. A much talked about piece, it has inspired many a hat in the same vein.
Even 2009 welcomed hats that hearkened back to Elsa. Take a look at Isaac Mizrahi's purse hats.
Elle Italy also showcased a shoe hat in a spread shot by Karl Lagerfeld featuring Iekeliene Stange.
Gotta love a milliner that still inspires.
