Hats and accessories throughout history have forever been changing which is inspiring towards the history of accessories and fashion. It is not only fashion that is changing with the trends but also the accessories that assist them. Audrey Hepburn has been an icon for fashion and modelling. Hepburn can be seen modelling a lavish hat that inspired, looking further into the way hats and accessories can be a way of showing of class and wealth during these time periods. ‘Marie Claire’ was a popular ladies magazine published throughout the 20th Century showing off sophistication and modernism through stylish accessories mainly on her love for hats. Hats are the main feature of her covers showing them off proudly in bold and statement colours casting a strong emphasis in change throughout each edition. This can still be seen in today’s work. Feathers are frequently used through hats in this era due to them being popular for events like weddings and celebrations. The extravagance that a feather allows channels through the beholder and allows confidence and security to be restored. From looking at these three different areas I have learnt that accessories where a huge popularity during history and different medias made this notion even more aware by pronouncing lavishness and beauty as their main attraction when looking at these accessories for the 20th centuries women’s event outfit.
