The Fedora
It originates from the play Fédora, which ran during the late 19th century, in which the character Princess Fédora wore a hat that was pinched in the front with a wide rim. The fedora was very popular in the early 1920s to the mid 1960s. The millinery wonder was worn by gangsters such as Al Capone, and movie stars such as Katharine Hepburn, Gene Kelly and Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca. Classically, the fedora is made with felt and a grosgrain ribbon around the base of the hat.
Now for the summer and back to school a new twist was taken… straw.
Straw hats, and fedoras, are a very popular back-to-school accessory. Breaking gender and age boundaries, the straw hat can be worn by anyone at any age.
