Excerpt from Modern Millinery: A Workroom d104 Book Containing Complete Instruction in the Work of Preparing, Making and Copying Millinery, as Actually Practiced in the Most Advanced Trade Workrooms The impulse to make beautiful things is inherent in most of us. But before we can express the best that is in us in any form of art, there must be a period of training and discipline to develop an instinctive technique which allows a free flow of ideas. In common with other workers in the arts, the milliner can only express her enthusiasm for line, color and harmony after she has acquired by study and practice a thorough knowledge of the mechanics of frame-making and of measuring, cutting and applying materials. Thus millinery work may be divided roughly into two classes - Construction and Ornamentation. It has been felt by the author of this book that the presentation of both classes of millinery work in one volume would introduce the beginner prematurely to the work of trimming and encourage the all-too-prevalent tendency to slipshod production. Modern Millinery is a complete study of the work of those branches of the trade known as Preparing, Making and Copying.

Filled with beautiful works by Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt, and other Impressionist painters, this richly illustrated book showcases artistic portrayals of France's millinery trade during the Belle Époque. Filled with beautiful works by Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt, and other Impressionist painters, this richly illustrated book showcases artistic portrayals of France's millinery trade during the Belle Époque. Though best known for his depictions of dancers and bathers, Edgar Degas repeatedly returned to the subject of millinery over the course of three decades. In masterpieces such as The Millinery Shop (1879-86) and The Milliners (ca. 1898), he captured scenes of milliners fashioning and women wearing elaborate, colorful hats. Featuring sumptuous paintings, pastels, and preparatory drawings by Degas, Cassatt, Manet, Renoir, and Toulouse-Lautrec, among others, this generously illustrated book surveys the millinery industry of 19th-century Paris. Peppered throughout with photographs, posters, and prints of French hats, this book includes essays that explore Degas's particular interest in the millinery trade; the tension between modern fashion and reverence for history and the grand art-historical tradition; a chronicle of Parisian milliners from Caroline Reboux to Coco Chanel; and examples of how the millinery trade is depicted in literature. Brilliantly linking together the worlds of industry, art, and fashion, this groundbreaking book examines the fundamental role of hats and hat-makers in 19th-century culture.
