“As an ultimate challenge to their ingenuity, Collier’s invited five of the country’s top hatters to cooperate in an experiment. The designers were presented with an odd basic assortment of raw materials from which to make a selection; a handful of unblocked hats, some veiling, rhinestones, dried flowers, leaves, thistles, ribbon – and a telephone.”
The creations were modeled by the daughter of Marlene Dietrich.
