Hat Fashion Is Right Red (Two)

In the west, hat is a symbol of rights and status.

In ancient Greece and Rome, slaves could only wear a straw hat to shade the sun.

In the middle ages, the hierarchy of hat was more clear. Kings wore gold crowns, prisoners wore paper hats and so on.

In the late sixteenth Century, there were special designs for officials, Queens, princesses and ladies in the court.

In eighteenth Century, with the word "Milliner", the word "bonnet maker", it came from Milan, Italy, because during this period, Milan could produce the best hat.

The women's hat industry is a traditional female occupation. The maid manufacturer is not only responsible for designing, but also responsible for material selection and production.

In twentieth Century, Paris and London established a strong fashion center, which is the same time that the story of the fair lady happened.

Silk hat is still the main match for evening dress, especially at tea party and Sunday church.

British gentlemen usually wear gray hat to see horse racing and other competitions.

In the 60s of last century, the hat was still one of the most important costumes of the British.

Mr. Stephen recalls that he wore hat since he was a child, regardless of the winter school uniform or the summer boater hat.

When he went to Saint Martin art school in his teenage years, and later practiced in a very traditional high fashion company, he gradually became interested in the design of the bonnet.

Princess Diana likes red and black berets. With the development of the times, hats become the ornaments used for formal occasions or practical needs. Hegemony has never been returned. But a few, like queen empress dowager and Princess Diana, have always been very fond of hats.

Mr. Stephen once made a velvet Bailey hat for Princess Diana, elegant and fashionable.

The two colors of black and red are very similar to their suits. They are also Diana's favorite colors.

Mr. Stephen has also designed many kinds of hats for many films.

Last year, the hat in the movie "Coco Before Chanel" about Chanel life was designed by Mr. Stephen.

At that time, the director wanted to create a Coco image of young innocence. Mr. Stephen therefore designed a concise, neutral derby hat to the heroine, and used this great contrast to set out the complexity of the characters.

Mr. Stephen has worked with many different designers around the world.

Vivienne Westwood is a very impressive designer. He recently worked with her in the Royal Ascot (famous Racecourse) to make poster promotion this summer.

"She always likes adventure. She likes hat and headwear very much. She always has strong thoughts."

Mr. Stephen said.
