Framel of 6 feather hat compositions – Spring collection, 1960
PU1228-3
These six feather compositions come from the feather and fashion ornament manufacturer A. MEYER & Cie (Paris) — part of their Spring 1960 collection.
They were originally intended to adorn hats, in that golden age when headwear was still a fully-fledged medium of stylistic expression.
Each arrangement blends textures, shapes, and colours in that case with some pheasant, duck and Emu (the type of grey hairs)… a feathered inventory of vanished elegance.
The collection is framed like a fashion herbarium, preserving these delicate bouquets somewhere between craftsmanship and ceremonial plumage.
