Cloche

French

Not on view

The cloche was a popular headwear form for the 1920s and into the 1930s as it suited the hairstyles and silhouettes of the time. Sleek, form-fitting and aero-dynamic, it echoed the aesthetics of the Art Deco period. The idea of speed, and advances in industrialization became dually evident in fashion. In addition, the refined cutting and piecework incorporated in this example, displays the sharp geometric lines also associated with the Art Deco period.
