Ramblins from the Editrix

Ah it’s November. A time of rich colorful fashion and thanksgiving. This is the month when Fall is in full Foliage. And we here in America celebrate sharing on Thanksgiving Day. I love this Holiday because it is not about any one culture or religion. It is about being thankful for what we have and the people in our lives. We celebrate with a big feast! Yum! And during that time you can shine in your best look. And don’t forget about the accessories. This month we are telling a story of Chic Style with Cloches, Faux Fur and the Retro Apron Craze. Each of these pieces can give you a look to remember. The point of accessories is to bring out the total look and add that special touch.

Women in Europe generally rely on accessories more than we here in the US but that is changing. So get accessorizing in your Fall Best and give thanks for who you are and celebrate in style.

The Cloche 14

The Mystery of The Cloche Hat There are many theories on how the Cloche Hat came about during the 1920s. I believe there are a myriad of factors that brought this ephemeral hat to life. A similar type hat was introduced into Parisian Society during the early part of the 20th Century by a designer called Paul Poiret. His fascination with Asian and Eastern Cultures lead him to create turban type hats for women to wear with evening dresses. This led to a craze for close fitting hats. Most women during this time 1900 -1920 wore the boater or big brimmed picture hats.

However, more and more women were starting to wear his turbans during the day in their regular attire too. Then there is the Coco Chanel connection to this hat. She is rumored to be the creator but it’s more likely she made it chic. Coco started out her career by trimming already made hats and then she hired technical milliners to create for her. Coco was heavly influenced by the horsey set world and men’s riding attire.

The Riding Hat worn by men at the time was taken up by her and this was similar to the helmet cloche but with a brim.

However, it was a famous Parisian Milliner, Caroline Reboux who created hats in the 19th century for Royalty and the Lux Class that is most credited with being the creator of the cloche.

She was around before Paul Poiret or Coco Chanel and was strictly a milliner/hatmaker. She set hat trends the world over for most of the 19th and 20th Centuries.

The hat was a symbol of women’s emancipation from the past; therefore, the big hats went away. It was masculine in style but created for the new modern flapper. So it was melange of events and life that led to the creation of this ever chic, classic and popular women’s hat.

Caroline Reboux

The Legendary French Milliner During the 19th Century Paris was giving birth to it’s new look and modern Haute Couture. Charles Frederick Worth is credited with being the father of modern Haute Couture. Up to this point guild members created womens dresses and milliners (originally someone who sold trims, hats, and accessories) added the original wit and flair. Charles Frederick Worth came up with the idea of creating a new style each season and women would pick from these styles.

During this same time a little girl in the Parisian poorer neighborhoods was creating beautiful unique head creations. Her name was Caroline Reboux. Just as Charles Frederick Worth was discovered by the Empress Eugenie of France, Caroline Reboux’s stars aligned to get her seen by the Queen too.

Her beginnings were meager as that of Coco Chanel and so many famous designers throughout history. She first began her career by selling her hats to wholesalers during the 19th century. During this time she was discovered by the Comtesse Pourtales and Princess Metternich who had the eye of the Empress of France. Empress Eugenie was devoted to Worth and now to Reboux. Then in 1870 with her business established she opened her first shop on the famous Rue de la Paix.

She has been credited with coming up with the Cloche Hat (Bell Shaped) during the early part of the 20th Century. It has been said that she hand blocked them right onto the wearers head. This hat style did not become popular until the 1920s Reboux’s influence carried on even after her death in 1927.

Suzanne Talbot and Lilly Dache famous 20th Century Milliners were trained in her studio. Reboux helped to establish Millinery as it’s own industry where as before it was part of trims and mantles. She paved the way for modern millinery. She truly did crown the heads of European Royalty and her style is still being carried on in millinery today.

Faux Fur During the Cold Weather Days of Fall and Winter the lux look of the right Faux Fur Accessory can add warmth and style.

Some designers are going back to using real fur but we prefer to stick with Faux. There are many pieces of fashion that have faux fur trim: shoes, coats, dresses and much more. But we are focusing on the accessories: scarves, wraps, collars, stoles, hats and etc. The faux fur of today has such a realness to it we believe it gives the right lux to a look. FauxFur - sure!

Thanksgiving It’s the time of year when Americans gather together to celebrate Thanksgiving. It marks the time when the new settlers to the old new world colony came together with the native tribes and shared a huge feast. The day when there was harmony in the Newly established country. The native tribes shared their traditions of how to raise food in this new territory with the settlers from England.

It’s a time of year that means alot to those of us who are Native American. It signifies how Native Tribes were not waring people but families that grew crops and celebrated with feasts. Now in the modern times Americans utilize this day to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade which officially ushers in Christmas and the Holidays.

It is a time of great food and laughter around a kind and bountiful table. As we all set down to partake in the big meal let’s all share what we are thankful for in this year.
