“New York milliners show balloon silhouettes, curlicue crowns and jelly rolls gone glamorous.”

These wonderfully extravagant hats are from Life magazine, August 1945. The article featured six hats representing each milliner’s selection of what they considered their one most important fall hat.

: “Designer Northridge picks a “Patton Gold” high tricorn and Lilly Dache a spiralling fez turban as their top contributions to fall millinery.”

: “Scuttle-brim hat of “Ike Blue” has a crown like a medieval huntsman’s cap. Anita Andra selected this one from all her hats for its simplicity and flattering crown.”

: “”Yoo-Hoo” is Walter Florell’s name for his 1945 fall favourite. Made of pink and blue, it is, in his opinion, a grown-up bonnet, perfect for welcoming home the boys.”

: “”Global”, one of a series which John-Frederics has termed “big as a house” hats, is made of blue felt, has a rolled edge which fits the head and a blow-up crown.”

: “Cap-beret is entry of Sally Victor, one of the few bigtime milliners featuring small hats. She predicts that among young women hats like this will outsell big ones.”
