Feather hat compositions – Spring collection, 1960
PU1267
These feather compositions come from A. MEYER & Cie, a renowned Parisian feather manufacturer specialized in fashion and adornment. Created for the Spring 1960 collection, they recall the golden age of millinery, when hats were still a true field of stylistic expression.
Each arrangement combines textures, shapes, and colours with almost entomological precision. In this case, emu feathers (kinds of gray hair), dyed guinea fowl and duck.
Displayed under a glass bubble dome, these pieces embody the meeting point between fashion craftsmanship and decorative curiosity — a poetic nod to an era when elegance was worn from head to toe.
