Feather hat compositions – Spring collection, 1960
PU1269-2
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 black ostrich feather frames a composition of golden phesant, duck and the blue Ara.
Displayed under an oval glass dome, these pieces are 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.
