EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the heart of Paris in 1908, showcases a stunning display of hats in a milliner's shop window at Saint Cloud. The milliner's art was a thriving trade in France during this era, with each hat a work of art in its own right. The window is filled with an array of exquisite headpieces, each one more intriguing than the last. In the foreground, a row of boaters, those quintessential hats of the Belle Époque, sit neatly atop one another. Their straw bodies are adorned with ribbons, flowers, and other decorative elements, adding a touch of whimsy and elegance. Next to the boaters, a selection of bonnets in various shapes and sizes are displayed. Some feature delicate lace and ribbon trims, while others boast bold patterns and textures. The milliner's skill is evident in the intricate details of each hat, from the perfectly shaped brims to the meticulously sewn trims. The hats are arranged in a way that invites the viewer to explore each one, imagining the woman who might wear it. The soft light filtering through the window adds to the dreamlike quality of the scene, transporting us back in time to the fashionable streets of Paris over a century ago. This photograph is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the milliner's trade during the early 20th century, and a reminder of the enduring allure of a well-designed hat.
