c'est fou j'ai toujours adore les chapeaux (enfin pas cela ;o)) mais j'ai pas une tete a chapeau alors (pourtant j'ai essaye Melon, Paname, mais il y a que le bob ricard qui me va ;)))
ReplyDeletepaname = panama evidement
ReplyDeleteChristiane Schmidt is very talented!
ReplyDeleteI don't wear hats, but these are quite nice.
ReplyDeleteDo women wear hats like these in Versailles? Women in the US used to wear them for Easter, but today hardly any do. The other occasion would be for famous horse races like the Kentucky Derby, but those are usually broad-rimmed hats.
ReplyDeleteInteresting looking hats. Did you try any on?
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty and just in time for Easter, but do French women still wear such bonnets?
ReplyDeletePlus beaucoup portés...sauf par la reine d'Angleterre.
ReplyDeleteAnd gorgeous they certaintly are.
ReplyDeleteMy Mother's family at one time were miliners. My Greatgrandmother has a sewing school and each of her girls excelled in a different seamstress field. My Mother also was an excellent seamstress but I was too obstinate to sit still long enough to learn much. My Mother's maiden name was Schmidt and her Grandmother's name was Schwietzer and one it goes. MB
Blue is a perfect choice mainly for this Spring time. I also like a lot those laces! Charming!

Maintenant le chapeau est surtout l'accessoire indispensable de la mère de la mariée...
ReplyDeleteUnusual and fascinating, but a bit anachronistic...
ReplyDeleteHat tip to you for showing us.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I'd love to be able to make a hat. xxx
ReplyDeleteTrès bonne harmonie des couleurs.
ReplyDeletequ'un mot : chapeau !!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful works of art these are. Do you wear hats, Ciel?
ReplyDeleteTrès beau! Le petit bleu au fond très 1930!
ReplyDeleteI love hats, but rarely wear these fancy types. :)
ReplyDeleteThe purple head piece with the giant flower is my favorite...although I have no idea how to wear it :-)
ReplyDeleteI still remember these shops in Lisbon. Lovely photo, Ciel.
ReplyDeleteTrop mimis , les bibis! (celle-là, faut etre français pour la comprendre..) je n'arrive à porter que des chapeaux de paille a large bord, style David Hamilton dans les 70ies..les autres ne me vont pas. On voit pas mal de chapeaux par ici a cause du soleil, mais pas aussi élégants!
ReplyDeleteIt truly is an art form. I've sadly never been able to wear a hat and look decent.
ReplyDeleteI love hats and even carried one in a giant hat-box on the plane home from CDG... not without difficulty.
ReplyDeleteIn the South we wear hats like these for certain events... love that blue one!
Bises,

Oh my word - such beautiful creations.
ReplyDeleteThis is delightful. Reminds me of my grandmother's church...all the ladies in their Sunday hats.
ReplyDeleteSharon
Absolutely fabulous hats and photo! It's nice to know that women still wear beautifully feminine hats somewhere in the world!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely smashing! Lovely! I wish women would wear hats like that over here!
ReplyDeleteHats on women can be very chic.
ReplyDeleteI love this photo. I haven't seen a hat display in a long time. I would love to have an event to wear such hats.
ReplyDeleteI'm not the type that can pull a hat like that off, I would just look ridiculous in such a thing!
