EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from 1912, two Edwardian women proudly display their fashionable hats, showcasing the diverse and intriguing headwear trends of the time. On the left, a woman wears a tricorne hat, a three-cornered design trimmed with two pom-poms, one in black and the other in white. The hat, made of tagal fabric, adds a playful and whimsical touch to her elegant ensemble. On the right, another woman dons an amazon hat, a chic and sophisticated design made of leghorn material. This hat boasts a low crown, broad brim, and is lined with velvet. The brim is pinned up on either side of her head and at the back, creating a stylish and modern look. The centerpiece of the photograph, however, is the bicorne hat. This hat, made from straw and ostrich feather fringe, is pinned front and back to create a long-horned shape, reminiscent of the horns of a bull. The influence of moving pictures of the time popularized this unique and eye-catching design. The women's hats are accessorized with veils made of tulle, mesh, and net, adding an air of mystery and allure to their already stunning appearances. The plumes and feathers adorning their hats add a touch of elegance and sophistication, making these hats a must-have for any fashionable woman of the 1910s. This photograph is a testament to the creativity and innovation of the millinery industry during the Edwardian era, showcasing the diverse and captivating hats that defined the fashion of the time.
