EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the elegant world of early 20th century French fashion with this image of a fashionable woman adorned in a selection of winter cartwheel hats. Dating back to 1906, this photograph showcases the timeless allure of headwear as an essential accessory for women's fashion during the Edwardian era. The woman's graceful pose and high-slanted hairstyle, swept to the front, perfectly complement the extravagant designs of her hats. Each hat boasts a unique character, with materials ranging from luxurious velvet to the playful addition of whole birds and their feathers. The feathered plumes and bird wings add a whimsical touch to the otherwise sophisticated ensembles. The cartwheel hat, a popular choice for women during this period, is known for its distinctive shape, which is created by folding the brim upwards and pinching it at the crown to create a wide, circular silhouette. This style not only protected against the elements but also added a touch of elegance and refinement to any outfit. As you admire the intricate details of these hats, imagine the woman wearing them on a crisp winter day, strolling through the streets of Paris or attending a grand ball. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of fashion and the artistry of the past.
