DIOR HATS (Rizzoli £42.50)
According to Christian Dior, ‘A woman without a hat is not completely dressed.’
Hats were not so much the icing on the cake as one of the central foundations of any outfit. With text from milliner-extraordinaire Stephen Jones, this gorgeous book explores Dior’s history through its ‘chapeaux’.
One of Christian’s first creative projects was choosing plants for his mother’s garden and so florals have always been central to Dior design, as shown by this flamboyant headdress from 1967. These hats would be the ultimate in Zoom waist-up accessorising.
