Hat

Design House Bette and Lee American

Not on view

Flowers have long been a mainstay of hat decoration, culminating in the late 1950s and early 1960s when the entire surface was often covered in artificial flowers. The variety of flowers and the integration of the colors in this hat are exceptional, showing off the sophistication and talent of the designer.
