Feather hat compositions under glass – Spring 1960
PU1269-1
These feather compositions come from A. MEYER & Cie, a renowned Parisian feather manufacturer specializing in fashion and adornment. Created for the Spring 1960 collection, they recall the golden age of millinery, when hats were still a true form of stylistic expression.
Each arrangement blends textures, shapes, and colours with almost entomological precision. In this case, a white ostrich feather frames a composition of emu feathers (kinds of gray hair) and guinea fowl on a red background
Displayed under an ovoid glass dome, these pieces embody the meeting point between fashion craftsmanship and decorative curiosity — a poetic nod to an era when elegance was worn right up to the top of one’s head.
