Acrylic "Glass" Hat
Harvey Nicholsca. 1968
Kunstgewerbemuseum, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin
Berlin, Germany
During the 1960s the hat became an increasingly less important aspect of headwear. This model, with its unusual material (transparent acrylic glass), recalls the futuristic trends of that time and offers an amazing contrast to the basic classic form of the high semi-circular crown with wide brim.
