EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the elegant world of early 20th century French fashion with this series of photographs featuring a fashionable French model adorned in a stunning selection of cartwheel hats from 1908. These exquisite hats, crafted with a unique blend of Guinea fowl feathers and delicate floral arrangements, were a popular trend during the Edwardian era. The model, with her poised and confident demeanor, showcases the intricate details of each hat. The first image displays a hat adorned with an abundance of Guinea fowl feathers, their rich brown and black hues creating a striking contrast against the felt base. The second photograph reveals a hat embellished with a vibrant floral arrangement, the petals and leaves adding a touch of natural beauty to the design. The cartwheel hats, also known as "chapeaux-de-bonnet," were a staple in the fashionable wardrobe of French women during this time. Their large, circular brims not only protected against the sun and rain but also served as a canvas for creative and elaborate decorations. These photographs offer a glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of the Edwardian era, a time when fashion was an art form and accessories played a crucial role in expressing one's social status. The model's elegant attire, coupled with the intricate details of her hats, serve as a testament to the enduring allure of this bygone era.
