Hats have been a part of history since the Ancient Greece. The first recorded hat was called Pileus, which was associated with slaves. This hat represented their freedom from bondage. In 1529, women’s hats emerged in Milan & Northern Italian regions.During the 19th century, the bonnet was the most popular amongst women. By the 1920’s, more hats became available to women. With all the different styles & materials Millerns (Hat makers) relied on. By the 1930’s- 1950’s, New York City become the world’s leading millinery makers.
As the years went on trends & styles of fashions pushed hats back, but today they made there way back to the fore front. Hats can make an impact or add on for the season. Here at House of Gemeaux we can meet that need!
Until next time!
