Hats

Dior 1950s V&A

 Cream and beige fur felt hat trimmed with cream grosgrain ribbon. The hat hugs the head closely and extends assymetrically down one side,and this side accented with a bow of grosgrain ribbon


Balenciaga  
Beret shaped decorative straw hat. Made from a very glossy golden straw, the decoration consists of leaves and berries. Mounted on to a wired base with a crown of netted straw. The head band of white corded silk ribbon trimmed with a dull yellow ribbon. There is a brown bead elastic strap and at the centre back is a rectangular woven label in black and white silk:
Eileen Agar (hat) Elsa Schiaparelli (Gloves)
 Straw hat, roughly "coolie"-shape, with pair of leather gloves pinned to the front. The gloves have red-painted fingernails.
Givenchy 1967-70


 Silk hairnet made of knotted silk mesh with false curls at the sides of the forehead and a clump of curls and brown silk ribbon behind


 White pleated silk column dress and matching coat with white beads separating the fabric joins, the dress and coat contained in a non-accessioned white silk bag with rubberised art Deco style design. The veil, of net, is also decorated with rubberised stylized roses around the outer edge and in the centre, creating a wreath effect on the head.Worn with high heeled strapped shoes covered in pleated silk
 This outfit by Ian & Marcel uses impressive craftsmanship to merge tradition and innovation. The dress and coat pay homage to the hand-pleated silk garments created by Spanish designer Mariano Fortuny (1871-1949) but conform to a more contemporary silhouette. The bride wore them with a veil, but instead of a wreath the designers drew a circlet of roses in silicone rubber on the veil's surface.
